What are your elk hunt dates and what state/s? Full moon is 9/14 this year (if that matters to you).
I head to Wyoming after work on 9/10 and will hunt till the 28th if needed. Taking the big tent this year for a nice comfy base camp.

Leaving the 5th for CO. Should be hunting on the 6th. I'm not sure when we'll head home. I'm blocked off until the 16th. I imagine my buddy will want to leave before then. We'll see.
I'm jealous of that tent! I'll be living out of a little 2 man . . . . . I'm dreading that part of it

In Colorado now. Be here til end of season. Retirement has its advantages. Saw a herd of 150 yesterday mid day in the wide open. Beautiful. Start hunting Saturday in same general area I've been lucky enough to take a bull last 6 years in a row. Can it continue??? Using THE broadhead, G5 striker 100 gr. :)

I'm headed out on the 9th to hunt solo until I tag our, decide to come home or something urgently needs my attention at home/work. Hopefully at least a week. Hunting a new secret, overlooked, Colorado OTC spot. I have it reserved for myself only so don't even think about following me. Well it seems like a secret two weeks out. Hopefully after I'm there, I'll not wonder why I didn't just try to hunt in Walmart's parking lot. :)

Montana, everyday of the season, as soon as I get off of work I'll hop into the truck and head to one of my spots to hunt for the evening.
From: Irishman

Montana, from September 7th until October 20th. Not every day, but most of them, just coming home when I get burned out, or when the weather sucks. I find that 10 days in a row is about the maximum that I can hunt without burning out, no matter how much the elk are bugling. Then I'm home for a day or two and ready to go again.

I’ve already been hunting since August 24th here in Oregon. Tag is good up until Sept. 22 I believe. I’ll never elk hunt here again though. Burned 21 NR points. Spent first four days mostly scouting and got some good water sources finally located. Running & gunning will be limited. Turning 60 next week, so plan on mostly sitting water tanks & wallows. But I have patience & the full season to hunt.

Hunting solo from the opener till the last hour of 9/26 unless I let the air out of a bull sooner. Have to be home 9/28. This will be the latest I’ve hunted elk in several years.
