Between my wife and I we have two archery tags. I like to savor the elk hunting flavor into October though. Draw a 1st season cow tag most years. Insurance plan for the freezer.
Trying my best to decide on a decent archery location. Not sure my unit 7 tag and the backpacking nation is going to jive. So I'm still deciding on somewhere that lends decent confidence of more elk scat than pocket rockets.
All in. CO draw for deer and elk in September, NM Gila September Elk and January high plains deer. Not sure what I did to deserve this great fortune, but September will be a tough juggling act.
I’m “All In” on archery elk EVERY year! Living down here in TX I just can’t get back up to the Mtns twice in a single season, so I put all my chips in on Archery.
