Will be hunting new territory in the WA Cascades for Roosies this year with my son!

We have already been scouting and have been into them so now it all comes down to

OPPORTUNITY + PREPAREDNESS = SUCCESS !!!

Have a great 2011 hunting season!

Shoot straight, Shinken

It's the only big game tag I'll have this year,I'm pretty pumped. I been seeing a few good bulls on the mountain to chase but I'm limited to my hunting time this year. I get sundays off but I can hunt most nights after work. I think everyone I know has drawn a good bull tag this year so if I do get lucky and get a weekend off I'll be helping one them with thier tags. Good luck and have fun on your first elk hunt.  64@28 585 grains with 160 snuffers and grizzlies.

Colorado, Unit 22 +  Meeker, Rifle and Rangley.

Most of the season on public, then the last week on private dirt.

55# Blacktail, 555 grain with WW...a proven performer.

August 27th can't come soon enough.  Hoping to get 15-20 days in this year.  Good luck to all, and safe travels to those of you making the long trip out west.

To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

I have the whole season here in Oregon planned out. Going to spend a little time over east with a friend, haven't decided which unit yet, don't really care... the final week I was invited to go hang out with a friend and his wife where they're hunting.

The first week I'll hunt the local Cascade elk, unless I get access on some private property in central Oregon.

Might even sneak around in the brush behind my house and kill one of the backyard elk, not to mention the 40 head that are browsing a new strawberry field down to dirt about a mile down the road.

This all may change between now and Aug 27th, but I guarantee I'll be hunting elk with my Blacktail Elite (60#@29) with doug fir arrows tipped with Wensel Woodsman 125 gr heads.

Broadheads will be either trade points, WW or Grizzlys.
