Hard to work

[Hilljackoutlaw]

One more full day before the Idaho archery openers for deer and elk. Anybody else having a hard time getting thru the work day/week because of the anticipation of chasing game up and down mountains and river beds!! Christmas in August!
I hope this labor day weekend is full of animal encounters for everyone. Good luck and shoot straight!

I am heading over tomorrow to setup camp and check cams one last time. Gonna be a hot one, but numbers on elk seem very good.

Not this year for me but after we move to WA next fall I'll be perusing the mtns of ID for deer and elk for sure.

Good luck to all!

Yea just a tad on the warm side. Be hunting in my underwear!

Take the rest of the day off. If your boss has an issue with it tell them to contact me

It would be pretty cool to put my hands on him! I think he is at his peak to. I see him going on the decline after this year. Seen it happen to a couple other bucks in that area over the last 6 years. Smart boogers they are. Got one that was a 155ish buck and then just fell off a cliff antler wise. Saw him for 3 more years and then he disappeared. The last pic of him he had spindly spikes about 15 inches wide and a fork on one side.

Lots of elk and healthy looking in the area I'm going to. I think our wet spring really helped the health of the herds. I also got many more mule deer on my elk cams this year than years passed which is nice to see.

Some things are best (or worst) left to the imagination

I'm trying like hell to clean up the last of my work before taking off 12 days starting on the 6th. I's hard because I keep checking out maps, apps, and gear lists trying to figure out if I can get just another edge.

I've got a week till our season starts. I'm struggling here.

Packing up tomorrow for a cast & blast weekend.

That's tolerable anticipation. Now if someone would stop feeding me photos of elk & deer they're seeing in my unit, I may get some work done.

Well, at least I'll be distracted for the next few days since a hurricane has plans to attend our Labor Day party!

Yea I got a feeling there will be alot more casting than blasting on our weekend hunt considering the heat!
