Steve, I'll add a bit to that. By about mid Sept, it's about over with here unless you like moose and I hate hunting them. Deer are best in Nov and I can fly to WY and hunt them for less money than it costs to go to Kodiak and hunt.
Besides, I like drying out once in a while.
Dan, send me an email and I'll send you some photos fm my son and I goat hunting this last Sep and you'll see why I hunt MT, WY, SD and MN each year. Oh, did I mention I have the three things a man needs to retire. Good hunting dog, 4 wheel drive truck and a wife. My job is to keep all three working.
Have fun,
Larry
after this year I'll have 4 elk and 3 deer points in WY.
