But they know most of those guys will book with them next year and they can get new clients this year. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can only assume their predictions are based on experience gauging available feed right before dropping and the current bleak precipitation forecast for much of the West. If this past winter had been wet, with a wetter-than-normal spring forecast, we would all be anticipating exceptional antler growth. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have elk all over my property and spend every Sept listening to bugles, chasing elk etc... I don't have a need to have a elk tag in my pocket to enjoy Sept in Elk country. I want to try and kill big bulls when I get another tag. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
