I kept dreaming about elk hunting. Six bulls in the field this morning. Life is tough in the country. GD Last edited by greydog; 09/01/21.

Of the 1.8 million acres of wildland burned in this state thus far, only 1 million is still roaring out of control. We were looking forward to a little break in the action. A friend sent a picture of some firefighters in the chow line for breakfast near Tahoe on this morning. Bundled up in hoodies and coats, some eating with gloves on, 34 degrees. What a year. Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Just got a message from a buddy of mine, we’re going to look over a deer hunting spot tomorrow. Deer season here opens in a couple of weeks. He’s got a gator tag and that opens September 11… things are looking up. Mathew 22: 37-39

Have small bulls hanging with the cows right now, bugling all night long. this pic was a few mornings ago. Nights getting down to the upper 40's right now and lots of good monsoon activity for the last 2 months. Last edited by AZmark; 09/01/21.

It will start regardless of temperature but the temperature will dictate how they handle it. When it's hot, they will still bugle but might do it only at night or in thick timber. I know that if you stick an arrow in one when it's 90F, you'd better have a pickup load of ice if you want to save the meat. “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell It's not over when you lose.
