elkoholic Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 Anticipation. After almost six decades of archery hunting it hasn't really declined in intensity. Yes, I count the days and 13 days from today I will be in the mountains once again hoping to fill a tag. Serious leg and back issues aside and against doctor's recommendations, maybe, just maybe, the hunting gods will pity me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than a week to go now and I heard the first elk bugle early this morning. It seems that the bulls only sound off in the early morning hours and go quiet as the sky starts to lighten. With the recent wet weather (it really helped the firefighters) the deer movement has really slowed down for some reason and I haven't seen a mature buck in a week. Even the doe and fawn have been less active, although the moon phase may have had a part in that. Next weekend on the opener a new moon will hopefully have the critters moving during daylight hours. The best time of year is almost here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoosierhunter Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 Anticipation is the perfect word! Waking up and starting to feel those cool mornings right about now. Beans are starting to turn. Bucks are cleaning up. Overlooking this plot is where I’ll likely being opening evening….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 I used to be that way...couldn't wait for opening day. Old age plus retirement has creeped in to where my first time in a stand will likely be when the 1st cool front moves through with several cooler afternoons back to back. Not really motivated to hunt with sweat running/dripping off my face in 85 to 90 degree heat in the afternoon. That's what I waiting for now.

RangerClay Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 I count the days. Tree stand therapy, nothing like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
