Wolf killer

My archery elk season is going to be a short one this year. My wife drew a moose permit in Montana. Moose season opens September-15th.
If I am lucky I mighthave a total of 8-days to archery elk hunt???[]
I sure hope my wife gets her Moose opening morning?

Rifle season should be better for me? I drew an either sex elk permit, in an area I love to hunt. I would rather get my elk with my bow? Meat in the freezer is all I am after. I will have 15-days to rifle hunt elk. If my wife kills her moose early in the season?

Well, I'm not hunting until 4th season in CO this year because I promised my uncle I would go with him. Unfortunately that means a short hunt for me. Nov 5th thru the 9th, then an off day on the 10th, then the drive out to MO on the 11th in time for opening day of whitetail on the 12th. My wife loves me...

ELKEATER

Well I drew late November Bull Elk tag here in Arizona for Unit 6A Nov. 18 - 24. So the elk will all have seen hunters by then for sure. If it snows the hunting will be easier. I will hike to a good highpoint to glass from before it gets light out. When I glass a good one up after dawn, I will sneak within range for a kill shot. BINGO!!

If that doesn't work I will go into a bedding area of dense foliage and indian sneak through there. You know take a step and listen then another. Close range shooting in the dense stuff.

Drew a hunt here in NM of which only 4 other archers got tags (Marquez WMA in Mt. Taylor, Unit 9). NMDGF will send me a combo for the gate to this WMA a week before the hunt starts. Talked with one of the Rangers in the area last week and he said there are a lot of elk in the area. Plan to hunt this Sept 1-5, then will come home shower, re-pack and then my buddy and I will head up into CO and meet up with a couple more Elk buddies and hunt around the Durango area. Will do that for 3-4 days, then come back and hunt my area until the 20, when the NM Archery Season ends. I am praying that I have to go into debt this season in having to process two elk.

GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY!!!!!!

This year i am going to be taking off from Sept. 10th-24th, after having elk meat forseven years in a row and then going dry the last 2 years--my rule of thumb is quite simple this year---"If its brown its down",

We will pack the truck for a drive back home to CO...should get there about 7-10 days before season begins...not gonna scout, just want to get there and relax and think about how good life is. As far as the actual hunting goes, I have my spot picked out for opening morning. Gonna pick up a new cow call or two and maybe some new long underwear. Almanac says we will be in for a wet and cold fall....sure hope so.

Here in MT, I'll be heading out for three days on Labor Day weekend, the opener is Saturday. Then I'll take another three-day weekend 9-11 Sep, and take my 10 year old nephew out for a taste of elk bowhunting. Then, starting 17 Sep, I have 16 days off and the real fun begins. I'll backpack in up to 10 miles on each of these hunts, and I've got some big bulls located. Just getting them inside my 30 yard bow range will be the trick. I'm holding out for a 300+ bull for the first half of the hunt, after that, I'll go into pure meat hunter mode and take whatever I can get.

I'm can't wait!

My plans are simple:
1. not sleep much until I Sept. 16
2. dream about going elk hunting
3. practice calling every day until I get there
4. practice shooting my bow
5. pack all my camping gear about a dozen times to make sure its all there
6. listen to and tell stories about past hunts as much as possible
7. try toconvincemy wife that all this is really necessary
8. somehow survive all this until then
9. aggrevate all my friends with updates on how long I still have to wait before I get to go
10. somehow I know that the time will fly by and finally I will get to go on my trip where I will drive for 26 hours with my 2 buddies to Colorado for another awesome elk hunt. Once there, of course we will make all the stops for license, food, gas, water, and all the local gossip we can get on where the elk are at. Then, on the hill to pitch camp and then into the woods to hunt. I can't wait!
