Personally I'm so excited that I keep waking up earlier every day. I don't think I'm even going to sleep on Saturday night. I'll be in the Bitterroots opening day. I have a great cow tag, and would only shoot a big deer first day. I am able to shoot whitetails or mule deer, so here's hoping for a good one. Good luck to all and post some pics next week!

Good luck triple M! I am the polar opposite, I just cannot get up for rifle season, probably stay home and watch football. I have only hunted 1 week this year, used to take off 6-12 weeks each fall, go to eastern Montana pheasant/antelope for week etc. I got a loper tag in the Bighole and didn't even have the gumtion to get over there.

I'll be out for sure. Hurt my back, had to skip archery season, so I've been waiting for tomorrow since the end of last season. Good luck to everyone.

I will be out there for my first elk on the 31st. I'm very excited, I wish I could have gone sooner.

Thanks Muley!

T minus 10, 9, 8!!!!

Ran into a friend at the store this afternoon. He had this blissed out smile and was already in his camo! I wished him luck andcaughthis smile. I won't be putting on my clothes until the morning, however. They are being de-scented and I want them to stay that way. Good luck all!

Count me IN!

Going out in the AM. Getting up at 0 dark thirty. Have pretty much got my stuff/truck/etc ready and waiting.

Did some scouting today, looking for a big mountain muley. No luck. Wind was blowing about 50+ MPH and everything was holed up. Would have camped out, but due to the wind up high, I'm camping out at the house.

Good luck and happy hunting!

I was born and raised in Stevensville. I sure miss that place! Big difference between Big Sky country and Florida. Good luck with the hunt!
