I was checking out the preference point scenario again yesterday, I think I will get my draw tag next year.  I am excited but I have a little pig and turkey hunting to do first.

It's never too early to think about elk hunting.  As soon as I got back from last September's hunt....I was already working on new arrows for my 2010 hunt.  I am definitely and elkaholic  :)

I'm obsessed with September, I only live an hour and a half from my hunting spot and will be fishing all around it this summer.  It is seriously like torture to me.  You don't see too many people fishing with binoculars!

Yup... that's my mantra. Is it September yet? I even had license plates that said "SPTMBR"  This is a really hard time of year for me. But maybe that's why God invented Miller Lite and men's league ice hockey.

Bought a new bugle just the other day, and a turkey call for this spring. Son and I are trying to learn scoring on the hoof as my son will be able to draw a tag for a good area this year.

My mind wanders to the mountains every day and has been that way ever since my first elk hunt 16 years ago.  I honestly think about elk hunting every day.  It is so bad I even bought an outfitting business so I can spend more time up there and make my elk hunting life expenses tax deductible.   www.mulecreekoutfitting.com
Truly looking forward to elk season more than ever.

I seem to be ok after a successful hunt for a month or two. Then it permeates my thoughts almost every waking hour. Its getting so bad that the last few yrs I've been looking for a place to live in Elk country so I can be there everyday. On top of that right now I'm bow-less and have nothing to shoot. Sent the bow in for another set of limbs. I can't believe I only have one bow! I guess I always figured that you can only shoot one at a time so why have a whole stable? Wish I had a small stable now let me tell ya.
