Archery elk crowd quiet

[BPKHunter]

Season is wrapping up and not one post on experiences in the field. Sad commentary on state of this forum. Been warm but bulls should be firing up. Headed up to prep for a 10/1 rifle opener. Few buddies are finishing archery on same unit and one tagged out yesterday.

Good luck.

Controlled hunt on the 1st?

You should do well this week. It was actually a really good season. I was in elk daily, had two really good chances on nice bulls. Bad luck on one big 6 and a bad decision on one really heavy 5. That’s archery hunting, live with those things. I’ll never be able to explain what happened in that 6. He shoulda been dead, 12 yards, and he just stopped and turned around. Didn’t wind me, didn’t see me, second time in two years I’ve been at full draw on him with no shot. He’s a smart one.

Anymore i think peak rut is first week of October . Go knock down a big one!

I have a giant found for my Oct 1 tag. Hopefully he’s dead 10 mins after light on Tuesday.

Good luck. I've had an October 1st tag twice...and it was over in about 10 minutes both times. I'll never forget those tags.

It has to be the best week of the year for elk. I’d give up two weeks of elk season if they’d extend archery to the first week of October
