Anybody else gettin Elk fevor yet?
Yup, pulled out the diaphrams, bugles etc. Going over my pack gear, getting the fall feeling now. I'm starting to think about those bugling bulls, frosty mornings, and the smells of a fresh wallow. The feeling grows stronger day by day. My hunting buddy called yesterday about a scouting trip and he is starting to get elky as well. Hard to believe seaon starts in just about 4 weeks. Man time just flys anymore, I guess I'm gettin old.

Bring it on. I even started my work out program a month earlier this year, in hopes that elk season would start a month earlier!!! I'm wondering if the cool season that CO. is having might lead into an early fall and colder winter. Early elk season might be better than it has been for the last several years.

I am always looking forward to time in the west and this year is no different. Hard to believe that next month is the starter. I was just thinking today of the early season success pics that will be posted.

I'm pretty excited I have already seen two sub 300 class 6x6's and I like what I've been seeing as far as racks. Really wet spring and summer those antlers are long and heavy. I'm hoping for a lil luck that my turn at the table is gonna have a few nice players involved.
