Here in MT, I'll be heading out for three days on Labor Day weekend, the opener is Saturday. Then I'll take another three-day weekend 9-11 Sep, and take my 10 year old nephew out for a taste of elk bowhunting. Then, starting 17 Sep, I have 16 days off and the real fun begins. I'll backpack in up to 10 miles on each of these hunts, and I've got some big bulls located. Just getting them inside my 30 yard bow range will be the trick. I'm holding out for a 300+ bull for the first half of the hunt, after that, I'll go into pure meat hunter mode and take whatever I can get.

I'm can't wait!
