Sept. 10 - What's the pan?

Elk, immy moose/LEH, velvet deer, bear? So much to hunt, so little time!! What's your plan for opening day of rifle season?

I'm still undecided...I've got two more sleeps to make up my mind!!!

Thank god it’s here, After all these decades of hunting and I still feel like a kid just before Christmas. Come to think off it, I use to be more exited about season opening day as a kid than about Christmas.

I have scouted well in advance and on opening day I will sit in my spot from where I have a good view over several clear cuts where I have some good sized bucks. One of them is a monster. I have set my heart on him.

I also have a moose and a black bear tag. This season I have more time than last year and so I will be out in the woods all day and every day for the next four to five weeks.:smile:

Heading out to see if I can play with some elk in the morning (3am):) Incorporating it into my work day. The crew saw a cow the other day. Will take any whitetail or a nice bull elk.

Unfortunately my opening day involves me being at work all day...however as soon as I'm off I'm heading to the hills for an evening hunt.

I'm leaving in 20 minutes for a 4 day solo hunt in the alpine for mulies. 3hr drive 5hr hike I'm hoping I'll have the tent set up and glassing by 1800hrs. Isn't it funny the last thing I'm doing before I leave the house is checking in on Huntingbc. I love this time of year. Good luck everyone!

Out in 3-28/3-29 high up early tomorrow looking for a 4 point. Weather to be nice. Scouting for spike bull for 20th as well. Nice to be able to use vacation days when it suits me.

Still not sure....throw a dart at a map on the wall maybe!

Immy moose seem to be the best in the early season on private land...probably what I will be looking for!! Seem to have a soft spot for those tasty 2 point moose!
