Bow opener who's going?

[604Stalker]

With the restrictive seasons on mulies and the fires roaring yet again. Who is gearing up and getting the shakes I personally can't wait for the weekend! Stoked to get out and slink through some cuts and coolies.. Just gotta make it a few more days and we're golden LOOKOUT MOUNTIANS. I'm coming.

[newbie604]

I wish but the wife decide to take some work shifts. booo. good luck to everyone else though

[aamenta]

Can't wait! Sept 1st is calling!!!

[gmachine19]

Me!!!!! Cant wait!

[whitlers]

Heading out Friday morning to get setup!

[RyoTHC]

Going out with a camera...
Hopefully find a nice big guy to try to find again 9+days later...
Focusing on WT this year ... See what happens.

My hunting buddy will also be looking for his bear

[Jordan f.]

Sept 5th for where we hunt. I'll be hiking in before first light with a buddy. Looking for 6pt elk or a decent muley buck! We wouldn't pass on a moose/whitetail/bear if given the chance... but they aren't the main targets. One week!

[nighthawk]

My son and I are going for the week.Game cam pics are promising.Fingers are crossed.

[butcher]

Yep. Elk opener.

[Linksman313]

The daughter and I will be creeping around to our spot on a hidden bench below a ridge we found scouting this year, hopefully the recent rains will enable a little more stealth for us, last year the ground was baked to a crisp and couldn't see 20 feet out due to smoke. Tight strings all and good luck!

[Carrollizer]

I'll be heading out early Friday to get the jump on the traffic and have a day of scouting my spots, then some R&R and back out at the in the early hours of Sept 1.

“When bow-hunting, you find you get closer to the woodland critters. The flora and the forest floor becomes clearer. You look at things more closely. You're moreaware. You know the limited range of the bow is only 40 yards or so. You must try to outwait that approaching deer. Careful not to make the slightest movement or sound hoping that your scent won't suddenly waft his way. That's when you'll know for sure and appreciate deeply what bow-hunting is all about.”
-- Fred Bear

[caddisguy]

I'll be heading out on Friday night. My bow season is not looking good though, as the one place I was scouting became inaccessible. I'll be heading into an area that I don't know very well.

[cash12]

I'm working, the wife is going with out me. :sad:

[dakoda62]

Wifes on holidays, no restrictions other than the dogs.

[45freezer]

Me and the boy are heading out Friday morning as well to check the cams/sign and formulate a game plan for Saturday, looking to restock the freezer with bear meat for the winter!

[triggerhappy]

Won't be using a bow, but I will be out Sept 1st with the rifle to do some hunting. Took the whole week off work. Mulies and black bears.

[Mikey Rafiki]

I'll be out. No time for scouting or cameras this year. Last time that happened it resulted in an archery bull elk. At least the temps and fires won't be such a pain in the ass...

[wifigary]

I'm packing tonight and headed tomorrow morning for a day and a half of scouting before opening day for bow elk. Planning to take photos along the way and will report back when I return.

[Liveforthehunt]

I am also hoping one of the many bull elk stumble by my stand where one of my cams has been very productive! I would not hesitate if a whitey came by as well ... heading out Friday for 4 days ! Good luck everyone.

[Shikari300WSM]

Heading out Friday early am for a bull. Or a buck. Or a bear. Or anything edible and legal. 4 days out and get tk ty the new off road tent trailer!!

[Redo]

Yes, bow for me rifle for my son. Not too picky,looking for some meat! These bucks have been by my stand morning, noon, and night!

Good luck to all.

[Just]

Goin for bear since I missed spring bear on account of a broken leg. Feeling good enough now! Been strength training for months and ready to get my hunt on!

[tyreguy]

Driving through Manning Park this morning and the temp was +1c.
Since im on my way to the Koots for bow I was thinking how this may get the bulls bugling a bit............ that got me thinking even more and I realized I left all my elk calls in the closet at home!!!
Damn, I knew I forgot something.

[604Stalker]

So awesome hope everyone has good luck with both traffic and their hunt.

[wifigary]

First night report: two WT does, 21 wild turkeys and one bear.
Heard one elk bugle in the distance, couldn’t see.
On a positive note, camp has cell service!

Didn't you know, If animals pick up cell reception, they vacate the area!?
Gotta go further innawoods.

Best of luck all.

3point Mulie down this morning with the Excalibur in Region.
Full velvet, nice start to season.

[dakoda62]

Out this morning, 3 wolves within 10 min. leaving the truck, to far for the bow. Did see 3 really nice 4 point muleys together, 2 polished the other still in velvet. (Paulson Pass area)

[BStrachan]

Congrats on a successful hunt!

[theoutdoorsman]

Had a busy opening day. Got busted by two groups of elk, young bulls in each. Could'nt get closer than 70yds. They were being pretty vocal. Busted by a pair of 4pt mulies with a doe. Passed on a 3pt mulie in velvet, got to 20yds. Got my limit of ruffies so food is still on the table

[Liveforthehunt]

I had a pretty active first day passed on a small 4 point whitey rhe little guy took down a nice whitey and got into some elk with some pre rut vocals even with the weather not too cool animals were moving ! . Heading out again in the a.m. to hopefully take my first archery elk !

[islandhunter]

Another 3 point with the Excalibur!!

[grizzly550]

Got out day 1 and 2...bear down on day 2...just a small color phase but figured I'd try and do my part to keep the pred pop down...had a gorgeous coyote slinking around on day one but couldnt get a shot off on him

[tyreguy]

Congrats on a successful hunt!
Thank you sir.

[SR80]

I heard there was 23 guys up at the quad access alpine mountain off the coq

[Redo]

Went and done! Lots of hours spent in the stand and while I didn't get a bow chance, my father took a little whitetail with the bow and my son shot a nice little buck! Pretty successful, I would say!

[sawmill]
