Big Game Hunting - 2013

Who's going hunting this year and for what!?!

I have a bow hunt for elk in September that I trying to get in shape for, also have a mule deer hunt in October. Both here in New Mexico.

 

you drew a NM elk tag? what unit buddy? sept? so archery!!

i donate annually hoping for 36 or 34.

me. local california deer tag. pig tag
texas mule deer hunt in nov.
AZ couse deer hunt january. hopefully. brother might be doing shoulder surgery.

all archery for me.

 

All archery for me here in PA. Scoutin for some big whitetails and waitin for the season to kick in here shortly!

 

I got my doe/buck tag in last night.. w00t

 

My bag is packed. I ordered a Kifaru hunting pack but it won't ship on time. If I kill a deer. I am gonna have to get creative.

 

Yup it's the second bow hunt in unit 6c. It's gonna be awesome and with the weather we've been having here I think the bulls are going to be rutting hard!!!

 

Good luck. I can't seem to draw a tag.

 

Leave for a week to get a moose and a caribou hopefully.

 

Ben where ya going for some caribou? I'll be hitting the Denali highway for some in a few weeks.

 

this is my first deer season. Got my bow a couple weeks ago and I've been practicing. Bow season opens in Maryland on 9/6.

 

Archery elk starts in 10 days. Been eyeing this guy all summer. Hopefully he's on my parent's place in next week and a half.




Then centerfire deer season in October.

 

That's a gorgeous elk. Good luck with it.

 

good luck!!

i'd arrow any one of those elk.

 

8 days till season and he's back on the property, minus his velvet. Makes me nervous to have them on the place this close to season. Almost perfect timing for them to move on to a neighbor's place right around opening day.

 

Bulls are weird man, It seems like when the velvet's gone they will move off. He may be young enough still to hang around.

 

The branch bulls from this herd got real weird several weeks back. They broke off from the herd and spent a couple solid weeks in that field by themselves. Didn't see the cows anywhere for awhile, but now they are on the place and he's the only bull with them. The other two branch bulls are nowhere in sight. Still plenty of spikes mixed in with the herd to choose from though.

Gah! First bow season, so its all sorts of extra anticipation. It will definitely be nice having an almost month long season versus the 4 days for centerfire whether or not that bull takes off.

 

I've seen bulls like that stay with cows until the rut, you may get a chance at him!

 

Good Luck! Your gonna stay hooked!

 

This is one big guy I've been watching all summer.

 

All three branch bulls where back in the herd the other day. Four days till season!
