Still at work and kicking myself for not being in the woods. This is it. The 13th-15th is when the switch goes on in my area.  20 years of hunting there and 90% of the time it happens on one of those days and then just gets better.

I will be there the 16th and it will be game on.

I just described this to another member and I think this sums up my hunt.

People would probably puke at some of the huge bulls that presented easy shots with a gun and an even easier pack out but that is not what it is about for me.

Very  well said. Enjoy all the encounters you come across. Good luck on your hunt.
I want the experience, I want long hard hikes, I want spoiled opportunities, I want it all to come together in the biggest hole there is on the mountain and have a brutal pack out of an amazing animal with my buddies complaining the entire time about "why didn't you shoot the 375" bull in the driveway the first weekend?".

It is that experience that I long for, the trophy on the wall will be a constant reminder of this amazing experience.  The inches of antler won't matter, they will be impressive I am sure but the experience that they will remind me of will be worth so much more.

Now it’s almost go time. Got my tag wallet in the mail today. Comes with the tag wallet, two sets of adjustable and reusable zip ties. Large set for my elk and a smaller set for my late archery entiat deer tag.  Also came with a couple of stickers for the truck to let the critters know I mean business.

Thanks @rosscrazyelk a forum business sponsor for the awesome product.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

Just placed my order, I like the orange color, white tags are too easy to lose in game bags or left attached to bones.

He's talking about being done with his second bear tag guys.  He's not going to tag out yet, the fun is just getting started.
