Title: Elk '11 Bottom of the ninth
Post by: Glockster on November 04, 2011, 08:05:50 AM: Well, only 3 more days for ewa elk. To all who have been out all week, my hat's off. I'm a weekend warrior this season because of work and all the other time I've taken for deer hunting, if I took more i'd end up unemployed or divorced ; probably both!

Looks like we'll have weather, but most elk are either dead or in the thick and steep. Time to muster the energy and eternal optimism.

good luck guys

I notice a lot of guys aren't thinking 9 months in advance before knocking the wife or girlfriend up. Shame on them :chuckle:

I planned my wedding for sept 15 purposely no interference with big game and duck hunting seasons. ~We now get to celebrate our anniversary on the Tieton during rafting season....and I sneek away for a morning of grouse hunting before she wakes up. LOL

Also I employed the new strategy this year of just sending the wife a doz red roses out of the blue to her office. All the other chicks in her office (it's a chick dominated office) go ga ga over it and it makes the wife feel special. Gives me anti dog house points.

Also no kids helps. : :chuckle:

I did that as well, also September 15th. And then I switched from rifle to archery elk. Oops! I tell my wife that we can either celebrate anniversaries in elk camp or move it to a different day. Her choice. See what a great guy I am? :chuckle:
