Heading to the city tomorrow to get new boots and gear for the months to come. I am not archery hunting for elk this year, instead doing my first stint as a guide for early rifle sept.15th. My elk hunting will be put on hold until October. Can't wait to guide, should be a fun experience. I have been taking people out hunting for years, but now I will get paid for it. I hope my hunters are ready for the woods of North Central Idaho, I guarantee they will loose a couple pounds no matter how good the camp food is by the time their 10 days are over. The weather has been cooler this summer, and we have had a couple early fall like rain storms in the last week or so, the bulls may hit rut a little earlier this year than last. I hope the cool streak continues as it makes hunting and meat care allot easier.
Good Luck, Have Fun, and be Safe in the Elk Woods.
