How many days do you plan to elk hunt in 2012

[craitchky]

We can only get 6 days in this year, plan on hiting a CO OTC unit for the last week of archery. To busy in the early season, and I have to fit in a trip to Estes Park for my 10 year anniversary.

 

[Ironman]

Plan on getting to CO. The evening of the 12th of sept. Take a day to scout around and get acclimated a bit, then stay to the bitter end, if necessary.

 

[les welch]

Depends if I draw or go OTC. OTC Sept 6-23.

 

[Campo]

As many days as my wife and son allow me!

That said, I plan at least a five consecutive day hunt every year. Typically I end up with ten or so days under the belt (not all full days).

I may not hunt elk at all this year, after hunting 16 days last season OTC Colorado as a non-resident, and making three trips up there to get that done, this year I will focus on mule deer first.

 

[Matt Cashell]

Hopefully it will be one day this year, but likely more like 15-20.

 

[pianoman9701]

10 days in early archery and probably 4 in late, WA state.

 

[OR Archer]

Ill have about 8 straight days to hunt. Then ill just have a day or two closer to home to hunt.

 

[Robert Hanneman]

15 plus this year. I already have two great archery elk hunts lined up in MT and WY.

 

[tracker]

If I could find someone to go with me I would hunt the whole season if necessary. Usually it's two to three weeks. Even after filling my tag I would have a hard time leaving.

 

[drthornton]

7 hunt days in WY and if I get drawn for NM and additional 9. I think I messed up though. I just bought my wife a new car....I should have waited until AUG. doh!

 

[Swede]

I expect to hunt 30 days unless I get an elk sooner, plus ten days scouting. That may or may not include my deer hunting time. I sure is the pits being retired.

 

[Rod]

9 day backpack hunt Co. Sept 14-23, can't wait!!

 

[radman]

However many I can get it's still NOT ENOUGH!!

 

[LNGBOWFLYER]

If I draw a branch bull tag in Eastern, WA then it'll be 10 days with a Muzzle Loader. If I don't draw a special tag I will be hunting 6 days during the Muzzle Loader general season. I can't hunt archery in WA next year because of doing joint training. I will be shooting a longbow in September. That is I'll be shooting my $25 million dollar Longbow.

 

[ScottR_EHJ]

If I manage to finally draw one of the tags close to home i'm sure I will be spending a lot of evenings hunting. Considering I have never in 14 years drawn a tag though, I'm not counting on it.

Deer in September kills my bowhunting season though.

 

[littlebuf]

I don't know exactly how long our early season will be yet since Washington takes forever to get there regs out.but I take the whole thing off every year.over 15 days I know that.then again I planned on the whole season last year and killed my bull 2in hours into it.kinda want a longer trip this year

 

[AlpineAthlete]

My archery season will come to 10-12 days and 4 or 5 days out with my dad and brother during rifle. Sure do enjoy hunting with them

[trophyhill]

"nock" on wood but i'm hoping to have at least 2 full weeks off of work again, plus a few 3 day weekends including the last weekend of August.

my plans have changed to 10 days or less. now i'm really gonna have to get after it!

 

[Elk_Addict23]

I'll probably hunt 10-12 days here in CO on an OTC tag and 8 days in Wyoming on a General Tag first part of October....both hunts will be with a bow!
