When do you Leave

Postby Elkhunttoo » 08 20, 2025 •  [Post 1]

My hunt opens on the 30th….i plan on hunting that day and on and off between work for the first 2 weeks….i will mainly be hunting the second half of the season but if it happens one a day i can go in the first half i will take it.

When do you all head out for your hunt?

It’s getting close!!!

I plan to leave for camp next Tuesday (August 26th). I do not have a return day picked. Every day out will be precious. I thank the Lord and my wife for every day I can be camping and hunting in such a marvelous place.

I’m in Wyoming now. Raining the next 2 days so that’s slowing us down. But with no tags it doesn’t matter. Just hiking and checking on some high country gear. Spent the last 3 days in Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. Good luck to everyone!
