Is anyone going to be hunting elk this year? It sure has been slow around here.
I am! My season starts Oct 18th....five months. Crap that sounds like a long time.
Anyway, I hunt the Cascades, and to get up top where I hunt only takes me about an hour. I spend at least part of almost every weekend there, so I am scouting all the time. I' ve already seen some nice bulls the last couple weeks that are going to have some really nice racks by the time they' re done. Most of the elk are still down a little low, since there' s still quite a bit of snow up high. I' ll be going up on Sat. night and staying till Sun. night. this weekend. We' ve had some real nice days this week and I' m hoping alot more snow has melted. I love this time of year. Almost no one has been up high for so many months that the animals aren' t expecting company! I usually see alot more bear, bobcat, etc. right after it melts.
