Heading out next week to chase elk

Heading out next week to chase elk
« on: September 09, 2023, 08:55:32 AM »
There is a hint of fall in the air here in Wyoming and it appears like this is the last day with a high temperature in the 80s.  We will be in the low-mid 70s over the next two weeks down low, so that translates to mid-60s up in the mountains.  This is perfect early fall conditions and just in time for the pre-rut. 

I'm heading out next week for 12 days of archery hunting.  I love being afield this time of year as the aspen trees start to turn, spending some time around the campfire, and chasing elk in the woods.

I can only admire those who are successful at hunting with sharp sticks. My time for that endeavor has long passed so I sit on the sidelines and wish you the best for a successful hunt. Good luck.

Best of luck. Hopefully you will get to flick a stick at a nice elk.
