I’m heading out Friday morning to start the season.

Going to get lots of elk hunting in. We usually hunt around 20 days unless we both tag out.

Fridays and mondays are mostly driving, and hiking out to camp depending what time we’re able to leave on Friday mornings.

The weather is looking significantly cooler than normal with some clouds, and chances for showers. Can’t wait to get out there. Great elk hunting weather!

Leave for CO on 9/21 to hunt the last 9 days of the season.

I was just listening to you this am, on an older podcast, while I was climbing bleachers. Ended up having to miss the webinar Friday but I'll be diving into the replay this afternoon.

Is there a link for the replay?

Still over 2 months before heading out to MT. I'll be living through the results post for while.

I guess it's about time to start training?

My buddies leave on the 13th. I have a wedding on the 16th and fly out at 5:00 AM on the 17th to meet up with them. Best I could do, given the circumstances.

This one is my nephew, who isn't an elk hunter. There may come a day when he seriously regrets getting married in the best month of the year though!

Heading out Saturday morning for a few days of fly fishing before CO muzzy season. I need to acclimate to elevations since I'm coming from 600' and my hunting partner is tied up until Wednesday. Fishing N CO and S WY for a few days.

Good luck everyone and be safe.

I am leaving western Oregon for Montana Wednesday AM hunting solo with both a deer and elk tag. Spend one night sleeping under the stars and get to my Montana camp spot Thursday afternoon. I have the entire season, both archery and rifle, so I can hunt until late November if it takes that long.

I take my bird dog to keep me company and mix it up with hunts for forest grouse, sharptail, sage grouse, huns and pheasants.

October 20th to Colorado, 24 hrs drive. Hopefully this will give us few days to acclimatize and scout for Mulie + ELK, excitement is causing me insomnia already.
Good luck everyone

Hitting the road on 10/9 for a two day drive from northwest Indiana to New Mexico. I will get 3 days of scouting in leading up to my 5 day rifle hunt. The plan is to get a bull down quick, get home and process the meat, get the skull cleaned up, load up the truck and drive to South Dakota for a 3 day pheasant hunt. It’s going to be an epic 2 week adventure.
