Have to say I'm starting to wonder why I personally do. The last few have been kind of disappointing, none of the old rush of excitement. Anyone else noticing that as we get a little slower & grayer?
I share the frustration but ... I'm addicted to elk country, to high mountains in October. I don't particularly care if i ever kill another elk. ML season is mid November and often pretty nasty. Regular rifle is mid October and with climate change in my area, it's gone from being miserable with mixed rain and snow to more "Indian Summer" ... great time to be out. Little frost in the morning, vine maple at its peak, trout will still hit a fly. I am thinking about switching to a flintlock even for centerfire season just .. be out there. The tags are OTC so I'm not taking someone else's chance to hunt by buying one.
