Can't beat bowhunting the rut coupled with a December smoke season. My two favorites as well.Renegadehunter said:Good choice, it's tough to not want some elk meat in the freezer.
Muzzleloader hunt? What month is the season?
It would be very tough for me to give up elk hunting even for a year. My over the counter "A" tag gives me the whole month of September to archery hunt for them during the rut, and if unsuccessful there is a December muzzleloader only season on the same tag for 10 days cow or spike. Archery and black powder, my two favorite things. September season is just tons of fun, grouse is open, nearby stream loaded full of Brook trout and crawdads.
The "A" tag also has a depredation cow only within 1 mile of a cultivated field season for the whole month of August, but I just don't have much interest in that hunt let alone how hot it still is.
When still hunting in Pennsylvania the white tails were and are pretty smart about the hunting seasons. We would talk about seeing them getting down on their knees and crawl pass a hunter on a tree stand or just standing. I always thought that was interesting how smart they were when compared to mule deer or black tail deer.OldMtnMan said:I do love the challenge of still hunting the timber for a mature buck. They're pretty smart and a good challenge. I've always found it harder to get a mature buck than an elk.
Are you going to have your back fused again Pete?OldMtnMan said:I would have got all mine but a few days ago I broke my back. (again)
I'll spend out the rest of my days fly fishing.
Oh man, sorry to hear that Pete! At least you still live in the mountains and can fly fish in some beautiful country! Good luck with your back situation.OldMtnMan said:I would have got all mine but a few days ago I broke my back.(again) I'm going to retire from guns and hunting. I had a good run at it but it's time to let it go.

Nothing wrong with being here to keep these guys on the straight and narrow old friend.
If you need anything let us know, would be more than happy to try and help out.
I have had my back fused three times, just a little stiffer after each operation and gritting my teeth more than before. Good luck - fingers crossed bud.
That's true. I can't wait to heal and get back into fly fishing. I'm hoping before winter comes but maybe not. We'll see.CoHiCntry said:Oh man, sorry to hear that Pete!
