Who's going Elk Hunting?

[sfire436]

Well I will find myself int he EK come sept 10th, who else is heading out for some elk hunting? Anyone here seem to get one every season?:razz: I know Pupper is heading out and I know hunter1947 is all over the Rockies. I can honestly say I have mastered the mouth reed so with that and the hoochie mama and my terminator bugle I think I have a good chance at getting one (and in elk terms "good" means most likely not:razz:)


Happy hunting

Nick

I'm off to the East Koots Sept 22nd ish Calling bulls and glassing sheep!! Maybe even look for the elusive immy moose with my bow!! The opportunities are endless:-P...

[sfire436]

I make one big trip a year and have chased elk when I have not been able to go for moose so I have usually hunted elk in what most would consider the rut (last half of sept) but will be hunting them for the opener. Anyone have experience with this? Cow calls? Bugles? wallows?

My wife and I are headed for area "X" and hopefully our (my) first elk. Leaving Hope on the 7th, spend a couple of days looking at country we haven't seen, and set up camp on the 9th. I have a countdown calandar right by my elbow. It certainly moves slowly, though. Dave

Heading out Sept 4 and back on Oct 2 and should see something in that time.

[buckguy]

I haven't ever had the chance to hunt elk, but I sure would like to try. Heading to Pink in last part of Sept., thinking of breaking off my moose hunt and trying some elk hunting.Hopefully next year I will be able to find a good partner/s and do a seriuos elk hunt.

[Frango]

Heading out Sept 10 for Elk but have a shared moose as well .Should have meat in the freezer this year.Should have ?????

[ARC]

I got one of the either sex draws for the Peace country. I will try to put it to good use on a bull.

[boatdoc]

My wife and i are going to the EK for bow season, can't wait.

[gbear]

Will be hunting elk locally until I get one. Have the GOS and if that doesn't produce, have the winter LEH as back up.

I'm fortunate enough that my 'favorite spot' is close enough to home I can go out after work and for the first month or so, can even go out before work if I feel the conditions are just right and I need to be out there. But, I do plan to take the week of Sept 14th off entirely.

[cowboy-up69]

I'll be headin to reg 4 sept 18 for my leh for a whole week!!!

[quadrakid]

I,ll be heading to the east kootenays on sept 12,driving all the dogs in my neighbourhood crazy with the bugles and cow calling!

[capper911]

This is my first year that I have actually dedicated time to hunt Elk. I'm so stoked for the season to open, I can't sleep at night..:p I have done some more scouting and seen cows and have also mastered the reed calls.I have 2 weeks off, sept 14 and 21st. Can hardly wait!!!:smile:

[Nuzguy]

Bowhunting on Sept 5-6-7-8-9 in the area west of Creston. Was in there about three weeks ago and saw some very dry sign. Going in to camp solo and see if I can hear anything. Has anyone ever hunted in 4-7? Last year I was around Fernie but did some scouting in 4-7 on my way home. Ran into a C-O in the forest and he gave me some tips on finding Elk in the drainages around Blaze Creek and the next one to the west. Can't recall the name of it but I think it's Bayone Creek. Anyone ever spent any time in that area?

[Barracuda]

i will be elk hunting in sept :tongue:

[hunter1947]

I'm catching the ferry to head up next Thursday morning for the opening of bow http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/images/icons/icon6.gif ..

[Little Hawk]

Buddy and I will doing the last half of Oct this year. So I'll put in my request now and ask that you guy's leave us one decent 6-point in 4-26, thank-you!

Also, if you could get close enough to spray-paint a nice big bright fluorescent -orange 'X' over his heart, I'd be much obliged. The eye's ain't what they used to be.

On the upside, this Oct will be 2-yrs without tobacco for me and I've been running 12/k per week in spite of my bum hip.

Good to go!

[ELKOHOLICBC]

Heading out on the 13 of sept.-26 to the EK for the 11th season in a row. Heading out with the wife, dad and one of his partners. Meeting the Wolf pack back there for two weeks of good times. Can't wait to hear that first response. I already have my first morning planned out. Good luck to everyone this season. Gotta love that rocky mountain music.:-P:-P

[7mag700]

I'm going tomorrow up past Pink Mtn.

Might even take a moose if I come across one, never hunted the 'any bull' season before.

[gary murray]

We have a herd up behind Naramata but you don't know if it's other hunters bugling or an elk when the season comes. I usually buy a tag in case i run into a bull but i don't go out of my way to hunt them with all the hunting pressure that's up there.

[stixnstones]

i am going with u sfire436.yeha

[elkhunter1]

[325]

I'm going to chase elk in the west Kootenays with my bow between Sept. 1-9. If I can't connect, I got the LEH cow draw in October. Can't wait!!

[Vinny]

EK elk hunt starting on Sept 1 with the bow and I will continue to hunt until I have a 6, season is over, or the better half decides I haven't been home enough. In between I gotta kill my goat!!:)

[Dually]

Heading up north Sept 15, a little later than I would like but will be a blast either way. Hunting for moose as well if a legal one should cross my path.

That's the start of "prime time" for Northern elk. Perfect time to go.

[Philcott]

I'm heading out for elk for my first time this year. My partner and I have had some great prep help from a fellow member here that I can't thank enough.

It's all new to us but we'll put in our time and best effort.

See you in the field.

[sfire436]

Going to the West koots Sept 15 for my first ever elk hunt, Anxiously counting the days

[kishman]

I'll be out in the Sparwood/Elkford on a area again this year, if all goes well with work I'll be there on the 10th or 11th. Still looking for my first Elk, but I've managed a Whitetail Buck each year I've gone. Good Hunting everyone!!

[Jetboat]

Have to fly to the coast so I'll miss the first 3 days of September, but that's OK. I've already had a 6 point bull within 60 yards last week while coming home from work :biggrin:

[killman]

I wish I was going Elk hunting..............:roll:

[blacktail18]

leaving on sept 5th for 2 weeks to the EK

[The Hermit]

Leaving tomorrow morning first ferry for the EK archery opener! Will do a couple days scouting before the big day! I hope I can sleep tonight... I'm too excited!! :-)

[SteadyGirl]

I'll be caller for Dad Sept 1 bow opener for elk. This will be our first daddy daughter bowhunt, so we are both really excited. His elk opportunities are looking good as of yesterday and this morning. After that we will try to get him a whitey if he wants one. I've got a couple tree stands he can use, some loose mineral ground licks and some heavily pounded elk trails and the bedding areas and the feeding areas, pinch points for water ect... he will be sure to see elk , his perfect opportunity will be his part of the hunt and I know he will do awsome. Good luck to everyone!

[ohno]

I'm looking forward to my first Elk hunt this year in October.
