Two weeks? What have you been doing? Seasons been hot and heavy for almost a month!

[HarryToolips]

I'm seeing a decent amount of WT bucks & does with a good buck/doe ratio from my observations...I saw a absolute hammer in a area when I was fishing so I'll be trying to target that guy.....my other primary goals for this season will be to harvest my first 6 pt elk, and to harvest a deer while my 7 year old son is with me...lol him and I found a good little pocket of WT's where we set up a T cam so harvesting a buck in that area where we scouted together would be extremely rewarding...

Be more productive. Find all the trail cameras other hunters put in YOUR area and pee on them ^^

I get it, I’m close to you, but trucks have wheels, Highways lead to other regions, etc.

absolutely, but I put in dozens and dozens of hours scouting locally, might as well use that than go somewhere else for a shot in the dark.. an extra month to prepare doesn’t hurt either I mean it feels like just yesterday I was bear hunting lol

[butcher]

You're right. There's a lot of untapped local hunting. I'm just impatient, September 10 is so far away!

rookie. You stand behind it and pee, just looks like it’s raining then !

[boilerroom]

It can't come soon enough!!!

I'm trying a new area for me this year - south of Savona. Looks like cool country and hoping for some blues and ruffies when I go up with my daughter on the 10th. I'll have tags for whitetails and muleys but without knowing the area yet I have no idea if that's even feasible. boilerroom

Think the second one was mine after having 3 bowls of borshe!

[Huntingtyler123]

Can’t wait! Sept 12 we will be on the tuchodi river going after moose or elk. Have been living off of my spring bear so far, may need a second freezer if the stars align this coming trip

[B-rad]

im thinking of tryin out using bow for 1 or 2 hunts this year for ducks/geese,,,,,,,every year i have lots that come inside the 15-20 yard mark in the decoys,,,,think it be pretty neat to say iv done it,,,and was successfull trying it out,,,,might even throw the go-pro on and video it,,,,,will see though,,,not much compares to knocking a bird outa the air though with a well timed 12 gauge though,,,lol
