Some how a pulled the dream tag here in AZ. Unit 10 early bull sep26. Best part is my oldest daughter is dying to go. I'm more excited about her going and getting into it than anything else. Good hunting to all.
If you don't have anything nice to say, you must be talking about Hilary Clinton.

Spending a week at our bush camp again as is customary, third week of September, OTC either sex tag. Shouldn't have much trouble filling the freezer. I'll also hunt bear and grouse as a bonus if we have early success with the elk. Main priority is getting my guest an elk, he has only been elk hunting twice before. Later in October I will have a lady friend out for antlerless elk, her husband and I will hunt birds maybe shoot a few beavers and help pack out her elk. Should be fun as usual!

We'll the army is trying real hard to screw up my elk season have 4th season anterless elk and 4th season bull tag whatever walks in front of me first  . But it looks like I will be in ft [bleep] Irwin for training. Ft shiithole Irwin indeed. My brother was stuck there during his entire enlistment. That place is as hell-on-earth as it gets.
I belong on eroding granite, among the pines.

Planning an elk hunt is kind of like planning on what to do to keep a red headed woman happy- Moon phase, weather and moods can make the most carefully made plans worthy for the crapper.

You are correct, of course, I was just being cynical.
Having the right gear and clothes, a good place to hunt and a back up hunting location in case weather or other hunters force you too change locations, all pay off.

No elk hunting for me this year. Can't hunt alone, and can't find anyone to hunt with.
Good luck everyone.

First time for me! Hunting with a good friend in ID. And the icing on the cake is my pops is accompanying.
Good luck Skane! I've never elk hunted but following a pronghorn hunt with my son who turns 12 on Saturday we're scouting an elk area to which I can return the next several years. Really excited for a very new and exciting experience!

Got lucky and drew a area 58 bull tag, Wyoming.
My daughter and I are driving out in early October for an antelope hunt north of Casper then up to Cody. She uses a Browning in a 260 Rem. with a 140 Nosler Partition. I'm taking 2 guns, LH Rem. 700 in 270, 150gr. Nosler partition, and a Ruger#1 in 7mm STW with a 160gr. Nosler partition.
Not packed but have assembled a pretty good pile of gear. Still working on perfecting the load for the 7mm.
We will be going in with horses. I was just looking at this page, Please note that the forest service and game and fish release a lot of unruly Grizzlies at the south end of South Fork Rd. Not to scare you just trying to make you aware they are there, at least for a Little while, just keep an eye out and a clean camp!
