Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Az unit 10 early rifle elk baby. I am a non res so I've waited a long time. My friend and I are doing it DIY and I can't wait! What are your plans? My buddy has the same tag. has seen some nice bulls. Are you camping or staying in Town? We are camping. I'm heading up a little before season to scout and find a good camp spot. Most likely on the Bo. We will be setting up a wall tent and will have 3 rigs. 2 Cali plates and 1 Colo plate so feel free to stop by and say hi. I have talked to a few guys and and got some pretty solid intel. Seems like if you hunt it hard it should pay off. There is A LOT of area though.

West Elk Wilderness during the 3rd rifle season. I've hunted the same area maybe twenty-five times since 1978. I'll have both a bull tag and a cow tag and I'll shoot the first cow that I see then spend the rest of the season looking for a bull.

3rd season. More of a deer hunt with a bonus elk tag in the pocket. Didn't buy a 2nd elk tag this year. Wife going first season, her dad is coming down from Alaska to tag along with her. I might sneak out for a day to go with them too.

I'll be guiding several hunters this year.
Also it is my daughter's first year. We have some cow tags. Parts of our cow hunt open September 1st. We came real close on an early hunt but didn't quite get it done.
In mid-late October a friend and I are packing into a unit I haven't hunted before.

We didn't get our moose draw so we are going over the counter elk here in Alberta. Season opens on the 17th. Hoping to get into some rut action. Two years ago was my first true elk hunt and only had 2 days. Tried bugling for the first time and called in 3 bulls in 2 hours. Very exciting! Hoping to get into that again this year.

Gonna do a landowner cull hunt for a cow elk up by Raton New Mexico. Probably be my last hunt as I turned 77 yesterday and bad knees have really slowed me down. Maybe next year I might try for an antelope. Lower elevation and flatter land may still let me hunt something, that is if I'm still above ground.  Paul B.

Starting Oct 28, any Bull rifle tag in a "SE" Oregon unit for 5 hunt days. Fingers crossed, hopefully the area doesn't burn up.

Third rifle, unit 86 Colorado. Drew a cow and will buy an OTC bull. Odds of success are low. We shall see. Out the back door and up the hill. ![[Linked Image]](http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e250/plainview2/IMG_0817_zpsc621ee2b.jpg)

Nice. Last time I was there I was kicking myself for not having a bear tag.
