I'll be in Yakima County WA. Mostly looking for a place to hide. Kevlar long johns are the order of the day. Just about daylight of opening day you will hear a dull roar start up and then the light wll dim slightly. This will be gunfire and bullets in the air coming from the camps in the area. After all only wusses dont carry a 44 mag in camp. Hunting season in one form or another runs from Sept to Dec. and where ever you happen to be standing is as good a place as any.

bear opens this Sunday so I'll do that on the weekends and alittle after work. I leave for Prince of Wales August 28th and will get 10 days for bear and deer. I'm going to hunt deer and elk in my home state in the same areas I always do.

Good luck, all. Blacktail here in C CA starting in 2 weeks. Blacktail and bear in N CA in late Sept. Antelope and deer in WY in Oct. a few weeks at home to wash my stinking clothes, then Whitetail in SD's Black Hills. First trip to KY to try for a good whitetail. while I'm out there, I might have time to hit another state or two nearby on some public land. Never seen the Atlantic, so perhaps I'll go all the way. Any bucks in the surf off North Carolina?
(you folks in NC, any suggestions for hunting on the western side?)

Going Elk hunting end of August, got two mulie doe tags, one mulie either-sex tag all draw tags so my odds are good. November will bring whitetail, two tags if I wish. All here in Saskatchewan.
It should be a real good year.

Nice bag, for just one province (or state). Gotta pity the folks in a place like Nevada- it's a great place (and will be until the Calif hordes complete their takeover) and has some wonderful hunting, but is a tough draw for everything, even for residents.

We are lucky up here in Canada, as we still have fairly liberal hunting regulations and lots of land.
There are some disadvantages, such as a wussy type of Government, but there are too many idjits still voting the other way! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif" alt="" />
In Ft. McMurray, we are lucky enought to be out of the mainstream of the civilized world, but live in a center that is large enough to support an airport and Hospital( of sorts!),
and a decent highway to get out with.
Lots of critters, If you ever want to venture up this way!

Well mostly I'll probably hunt for my battery chargers for the digital cameras and video camera. Then I'll likely spend some time before the season is over hunting for my keys. They seemed to get misplaced a lot during hunting season for some reason. Now if I can find the battery chargers and keep an eye on my keys I may try to hunt for whitetail, mule deer, antelope, black bear, and possibly blacktailed deer and wild boar this fall. Throw in some pheasants, huns, sharptailed grouse, and cottontail rabbits just for fun. Oh yeah, and a turkey. Then there's those darn foxes, badgers, and coyotes. All the animals will be hunted in Montana except the blacktailed deer and wild boar. Now I just have to remember to not spend too much time hunting for critters or I'll be hunting for a new wife by the end of the season. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Is it Friday yet?

No mine is boring. I live in NJ <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> and I go to PA to hunt deer in the fall. I do this so I can use my handgun to hunt with. As NJ doesn't allow any handgun of rifle hunting. So I end up going across the state line to some real hunting. I also go to the poconos area in PA so as the last year or so you can take a bear if you see one do to high bear encounters up there. So its not very exciting as an elk or moose or whatever but I can afford to do it and Its a fun time even though I am hunting by myself.

C'mon, 44andahalf, no hunting is boring (although boaring is hunting). A buck & bear trip with a handgun is as good as most. Most of my hunts are solo, and it suits me fine. Hunting with a few friends is fun, too, but they're such different experiences- I like them both.

Deer & elk here in CO. Tomorrow I am checking into a last minute Caribou hunt for AK or Canada; along with leftover antelope in WY and landowner tags for antelope in NM.

I'm not. I missed out on deer, elk and antelope. So stop asking me about it.

It is not enough to fight for natural land and the west; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it's still there. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends...

I drew a permit for the Killy River caribou herd on the Kenai, so I'll be caribou hunting. My partner drew one (after 25 years!) for the Kenai Mt herd, so I'll be caribou hunting. Between times, there's moose. I want that bad boy (about 60" ) that I saw at 8:30 am the day after season last year. He's still there, I think, and I know where there's another pretty similar Trouble is, theyr'e both smarter than we are. Or were last year. but I've been studying. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

My hunting partner and I will be going after high desert mulies in Idaho. I will also try to get out a couple of times for chukars and grouse. And, I will also get out for a bit of coyote hunting (year round effort here, as they are often seen running down the streets around my part of town). With two small kids, it doesn't leave as much time as I'd like. The upside is that, in a couple more years, I'll have one or both of them with me, so will be able to get out more and more <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. We are also planning on hunting mulies in SE Oregon and NE Utah, over the next couple of years, if it works out <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Regards,
Tom

No money to travel to the next state to hunt.
I'll have to find it all here in NC.
If It's in season I'm after it!
Whatever you are willing to put up with, is exactly what you will have.
When your ship comes in. ... make sure you are willing to unload it.
PAYPAL, sucks and I will never use them again. I recommend you do the same.
