Yeah it's crazy that fire practically started in my back yard finally getting it to slow down thankfully but it's burning through an area that holds some good bucks so hopefully they were able to get out

Hope and pray yall get rain.I lived in alaska 12 yeara with fires every year .I just felt govt didbt try to put them out early enough .I wish they would cut fire brakes again

New Country......
I don't like to hunt the same areas very often....I like to explore..afterall..I've a rifle in my hands..feel somewhat safe to just traipsing around wherever I end up....
Never know what you might encounter out there......

Fall turkey, squirrel and then whitetail deer in Ky. Added another private land site to hunt this year. Hoping to reduce some of the pressure on deer on my property. Last year the woods around me were crazy full of hunters on all sides. Passed on a small doe on opening day and only saw 2 spikes after that. Normally can pick and choose a decent size doe any year.

Arizona bull elk in 3A/3C this fall. No PA buck season since it's the same week.

Drew tags for cardboard, some sporting clays and got and over the counter tag for a big steel gong.....

Gonna be a lame one, nobody in my group drew anything except a local cow moose. Not planning any big hunts nor helping with any, kinda a lame winter shaping up.

Always chase various grouse and Ptarmigan, might try getting down south to chase something otc. Between the cost of taking the boat and all my friends kids getting to the busy age, makes for occasional slim year.

No blacktail hunting?

Nah. Combination of harsh winter and rather astounding pressure from the "not guide" boats have the numbers down. No sense in adding my pressure to it, as it's not my favorite foodstuffs. Honestly the last half dozen years I've been camp cook keeping an eye on the boat and running folks to and from the beach.

This season looks like "one of those seasons", be a foot race to see if the fish loose interest before I do. Gonna take the abnormally early fall to maybe wander to the artic, haven't spent any time in the high artic and would like to see what's wandering around.

Well I was finally lucky this year and drew a bull elk tag in Michigan. I can take a cow or a bull but really want a bull. I will also be deer, pheasant and maybe squirrel huntin but main focus after our November deer hunt is the elk hunt in December

Bull elk, 2nd rifle in Colorado on private Ranch. This will be my 35th year in the area. It is the only hunting I do now (takes all of my retired LEO $$ to make the trip). Hope to continue for many more years.

White tail, black bear, turkey, squirrel, rabbit in VA WV. I hunt 99% for meat and enjoyment. Bear is usually by opportunity. On our property I prefer to keep trophy buck and top doe breeding until they get past their prime. Then I like to let new young shooters take the bucks as I feel it has far more value. I get such joy seeing their reactions with the wide eye look huge smile and the pride when they show their parents & family. Getting to take home that nice rack.

We are blessed in that we hardly eat any store bought meat.

I sure would love an opportunity to hunt Elk 1 more time out west. Have not in 20 yrs. Simply can not in good conscience budget the $$ outfitters ask these days vs on my childern and soon to be in Nov first grandchild. Maybe I can rationalize a eastern Canadian moose hunt as the costs are more reasonable if you factor it as meat costs.

Still I am happy and blessed to have the opportunities I do have. People with far less that have true needs.

Limited entry Colorado elk at the end of October. I haven't hunted for elk since I took a really nice 6x6 in Utah in 2016. I can't wait! I will also hunt for deer and waterfowl in Missouri as usual.

You have a lot of Hoping going on , and sure has been a warm summer, we get em time to time, Enjoy your hunts.

Going to get this season started early, going to South Africa for a week of plains game, leaving tomorrow with a good friend from this site. Later on some small game and bow hunting for white tails here, then rifle in OK, and then back home for a couple weeks of rifle hunting white tail at home.

I will be hunting Pennsylvania for deer and pheasant. I will be in Utah for elk in October. I will be on the big horn river in August fishing for trout.
