Default Already Bowhunting!!!!!

The awaited time came aug 15th. Yes, I am bowhunting once again. I got within 100 yrds of a dandy antelope buck.I tried 3 different times to get within bow range. I was unsucessful , but man did it feel great to be out once again. Getting close to chasing the monarchs of the mountains, only 13 days til elk season...........Bring it on!!!!

I will share the pics when I get one down. And yes, it is hotter than heck. A buddy of mine killed one yesterday after spending 2 days sitting in a blind in 100 degree weather. I don't like blinds because I don't like rattle snakes. The blasted things crawl into your blind to get out of the heat. I won't put the bow until now the end of the year when the last big game season closes. If there is a heaven I am in it now. This bowhunting stuff is worse than drugs eh?

Right on Elkcrazy that rocks. But I am throwing a guess out here and saying that you are from Oregon or somewere close? Because antelope opened on the 15th. But elk opens in 11 days not 13. And oh yeah baby cant wait, I think I found a little honey hole for this year. Good luck

pinkys79, I am from Idaho. Our elk starts on the 30th of Aug. Thanks for the good luck elknut. Same to you. From the looks of your last video them wolves better watch out or you will leave them hungry. A partner of mine watches that video daily. He is bound and determined to get his first elk with a bow. Everyone reading this, GOOD LUCK this upcoming season. Lets go get em..........

I can hardly wait either won't be long now.Ihave been shooting my bow since feb.

We don't like rattlers either,especially the one I came across 2 weeks ago.48 in long 9 rattlers and a full grown grey squrriel inside of him

Good luck elk hunting
