Leave friday Aug.30th after goats for 4 nights then back for 1 day and heading to the kootenays chasing those forest screamers for almost 3 weeks. Get back for 3 days and another 5 nights chasing goats again!

Who else is pumped and ready to go, what are your plans?

[DeepJeep]

Nice! .
Heading out camping September long weekend. Will try to get some casual evening hunting. Only thing for rifle season will be black bear.

But gone for 5 days in October and 9 in November. Pretty excited.

[adriaticum]

I am not excited at all, in fact I am pissed that I have to go to France for the opener

[Carrollizer]

Going fly fishing all weekend this weekend in Pemberton, then probably go for some any buck bow only opening weekend somewhere in MU3 then up to MU 7 for my Moose LEH the weekend after that

[todbartell]

retweaked my torn ACL last week. Still on crutches but hope to be somewhat mobile in a couple weeks. Status quo for the last few seasons

[Throwaway]

Wife is due with our first any time in the next 2 weeks. Don’t think I’ll be getting out for opener or much at all this year. Cry for me.

[drift6969]

2nd one due in Sept, no hunting for me :/

[CheesyLimper]

Headed north for 2 weeks with the family in 8 days, for caribou/moose, then a week at the end of Sept with my moose group. Also trying to fit a local to me goat hunt in there too. Can't wait.

[Travisimo]

I'm in school in Nanaimo until Thanksgiving. I don't really know the area and not super excited about all the gates around here. I might still have to go look for a grouse though to ease the stress of studying.

October 13-20 I have booked off to do a backpack hunt in region 3 for mule deer. I'm super excited because this is the first time in a couple years I have set aside more than weekends to go hunting.

[Huntingtyler123]

Any buck for bow only September long weekend in mu3-17! So pumped and ready to go! Then out again October and November for 5 days each. Deer and bear on my list and some wassically rabbits/grouse

[jan.wi97]

That's called piss poor planning my friend, no excuses.

[RackStar]

If no bull elk... head north for cow elk/moose late oct.

[Wild one]

Moving to Alberta in 2 days so no crazy plans this fall. So WT and a little bird hunting well I settle into the new area

Bro. I tried to seal the deal in Sep/Oct‘18. Swimmers wouldn’t cooperate. Thought I might be shooting blanks. Turns out My boys are polar bear swimmers.

[Bubbacanuck]

Sept 7-9 bow hunting for blacktails in region 2. Oct 5-14 in region 4: spike moose, turkey, whitetail & bear. Weekends Oct-Jan will be ducks & geese. Hopefully connect with a houndsman to chase a cat.

[two-feet]

Flying in for moose Sept. 20 for 8 days, have a moose draw open from Sept 10 to Nov 15 that I may or may not get to. My cabin in 6-04 is infested with berry fed bears so may take one of them if time allows. And grouse with the kids!

[swampthing]

I leave TOMORROW for an Alaska highway mixed bag hunt! Truck is packed n ready!

[caddisguy]

Heading out for bow season on Friday night, spend Saturday chilling at camp and Sunday it's game on.

My son was born Sept 1. I'm pretty stoked to take him birthday hunting.

[robert05]

I second that and regardless... I have a 2 month old at home and that's not stopping me heading out for elk sept 1 have em tied to a tree one nice 6 and a couple big 5's ! I have been patiently waiting for almost 50 days they keep showing up every 2nd to 3rd day !

[HarryToolips]

Chase bucks with the recurve a little before rifle opens, then I have the first week of rifle opener going for elk, then after that day here day there going for elk and deer...

[Iron Sighted]

No set plans but I do have virtually all of my 4 weeks vacation time still ahead of me and I'm getting tired of working......
Also ran in to a bull moose the other day while scouting for sign in what is usually a spot I typically run in to moose closer to the rut so that is encouraging as it opens for any bull for the final week of Aug. so you can bet I'll be back there again soon. Elk, deer, and black bear will also be on the radar.

[Good2bCanadian]

Good luck all.
My son turned 10 this year. Sure looking forward to our first deer hunt together.
Got him a Savage LH Jr in .243 topped with a Bushnell Elite 3500 3-9x40.
Hes shooting pretty good.
Gonna be a fun trip.

[BStrachan]

Looking forward to going just North of Campbell River on September 9th do some scouting hunting the 10 11 and 12 then when I have my 4 days off I'll head back up when I can. October 3 to 12 I'll be heading to 100 mile to the family cabin on Ruth lake. Pretty excited about this season!

[BStrachan]

Sept15 to Oct 15 in Fort StJohn with my son for open season moose hunt then back to cabin in the Chilcotin for
LEH moose hunt in Nov with my other son. Life is good!

Nice! Best of luck on your hunts

[caddisguy]

Well, dang. There were some people camped at the access point to my bow set.

Still hiked in first morning from our other camp, but not as early as we would have been otherwise. Sat a few hours and something came to walk in from down wind then changed it's mind. Too crunchy to walk around and still hunt, so not having a good back-up place to sit was a mistake.

Decided to hunt around our regular spring bear spot, but only saw a couple BT fawns, swarms of aggressive yellow jackets (more so than usual even for this time of year) and scorching sun.

Oh well. I don't think I missed anything. When I thumbed through the cams, it's just a bunch of Region 2 white tail does with sets of triplets and the odd BT doe.

Did a internal/external frame and nearly complete under coat of fluidfilm and a bunch of paint touch-ups during the mid day lulls. Now we're winterized. Bring on the cold weather and rain please :D

[Redthies]

Bring on the cold weather and rain please :D

Well, let’s save that for October at least!

[caddisguy]

Well, let’s save that for October at least!

Lol fair enough. It's not always just about "me" here on the south coast where weather never really gets too serious. Mother nature let it be noted that I retract my previous request and that you only make the dew settle to make my foot steps a little more subtle :)
