Almost time - Are you ready?

[Southern Elk]

You haven't eaten a good antelope. Elk is a way distant second. mtmuley

I’ve killed 6 of them. One off an alfalfa field. I like it, just prefer elk meat.

 

[glass eye]

Gear in several piles at my shop just waiting to load up my truck on Thursday. Never packed this much gear in my life.

 

[Sask hunter]

One month till season opens for me. Come September I’ll scout really hard like every day. Been going out weekly over summer. Bought my elk tag today

 

[Hilljackoutlaw]

Not even remotely close! I haven't even picked up my new bow yet.

 

[PRO MO]

I. Am. Rea….lly out of shape, shooting a new bow, haven’t practiced with a call, and haven’t broke in my new boots. So yeah, I’m thinking I’m ready.

 

[270.Rose]

Does throwing hay bales count as a good workout for elk season? If so I'm definitely ready. Four weeks to go and counting every day!

 

[Chad Gus]

Wrecking arrows at 50 yards, on the stair climber 4 nights a week and ordered a new set of trekking poles tonight.

 

[Flatbrimmer]

Going out this weekend for prairie goats. Not the animal I sought after for years but it’s enough to occupy me.

I was about to be like???? Whoa whoa whoa what’s the rush??! Antelope camp is this Friday!! Lol

 

[dgc1963]

Shooting 4 inch groups at 50 3 inch at 40 doing hikes up hill stepper and tread mill
will be in Challis in 3 weeks.

You can tell season is here by the number of pacakages that have been delievered to my house in 2 last week! Christmas is cheaper...

This is so true, yet it is funny how many people disparage antelope. The myths about antelope are legion and people still put antelope down as “stink goat” and other worthless titles to one of the best eating animals you can hunt.

I’ve killed dozens of antelope and had one that was rank and it wasn’t run to make it that way. As long as people want to criticize antelope, I will continue to enjoy the best part of fall and hunt them in the best month of the year…

 

[brockel]

I leave for BC in two weeks. Elk hunting is a couple months out for me

 

[Nameless Range]

I’m ready-ish. With 10 unsuccessful permit drawings, it’s going to be a fall of General elk and deer and birds.

I think last year opening weekend was around 90°. If The highs are over 80 I want nothing to do with it till it cools off

 

[rjthehunter]

I had plans to go. Things changed... I am trying to decide if I just take a week and run to Idaho and try or not.

Life gets in the way of a lot of things!

 

[Deleted member 52098]

Everything is dialed in and ready, except for our new tent. Need to find a good spot in the backyard to assemble it for the first time to get used to it. Trying to find a 14x20 spot to do it in the mountains is tougher than it looks. Might have to set it up in the driveway ha

 

[Coop]

Back to living in Montana after 5 years in the Midwest. Yeah, you could say I'm ready.

 

[rogerthat]

Been putting 12 miles in before breakfast every day, shooting quarters at 100, got my 10 day pack weight down to 36 pounds and been running 100 cameras since July ….of course this is the internet so….#keephammering

Sounds like a hunt of a lifetime. Be safe and good luck!

 

[seeth07]

I'm just about as ready as I can be for my Kodiak Elk hunt but that isn't until Oct 1. Haven't even slightly thought about any of the hunting in Sept prior to that. I did order all my food plot seed yesterday and that will likely get planted this weekend or next week so I guess that's kind of thinking about it.

 

[BackofBeyond]

Almost ready. Just have to start load dev on a new rifle, get all my food rounded up, nail down my final antelope hunting area, pack, unpack, go on the last family camping trip of the summer, re-pack, then slowly watch the days tick by until it's go time.
