Whether Bow or Rifle Elk Hunt what is your start date, this includes driving time which is a big part of the big picture! (grin)

Mine starts Aug 30th in Idaho then I leave on Sept. 8th for an AZ elk hunt, both bow hunts.

Leave on scouting trip to NM unit 12 on Aug 27. Hunt starts Oct 9. Already losing sleep with the anxiety. Good luck to all this year

I live in a small town called montrose, it's unfortunately 20 minutes northwest of flint.
I grew up in Montrose until I was in the 4th grade. Moved to Hemlock where I graduated HS. Ended up in Ohio after a stint in the Air Force. Small world.

Leaving home Sept 5, set camp in WY on the 6th if all goes according to plan.
Thru the end of the month if that's what it takes.

Mine is Colorado Archery. I’ll be there on August 30th for a few days of scouting prior to opening day 9/2. Can’t wait.

Same here. But going from sea level to 10k ft will slow any scouting I have a couple days before season. Maybe I’ll only need to be out there the morning of Sept 2. I could technically win the lotto too. Prob same odds

My LE Elk rifle hunt starts on 9/11. Have scouted a few times and have some good bulls as potential targets. I will set camp on 9/10 but will likely be there on Labor Day weekend as well. Hunting 9/11-9/18 and then again 9/29-10/1 if needed. Can't wait!

I will be hunting mid Sept in Kentucky (tagging along with a buddy who drew an archery tag) then off to WY in early October with a cow tag both me and my daughter.
