Oh man, less a week till we start driving to MT for the opener. We have 3 any elk permits(14 days to hunt plus a backup plan for thanksgiving week) and have been to the unit in August for 3 days, hiked it/found bulls(understand they most likely won't be there next week) and scouted the crap out of it online. My dad does logistics with food and camping and my responsibility has always been to pick our unit then find where to hunt and develop a game plan. My bud is a greenhorn and is along for an extra set of packing legs, he's EXTREMELY lucky to have this rifle hunt as his first elk hunt ever lol
Anyways, I'm freaking out, I know there won't be much pressure on the bulls from other people which is good but my mind is going crazy. I'm over here thinking should I scout more or do I develop more clear concrete day to day plans but the other side of me is saying you've scouted all you could, you know the area, you gotta there and read/adapt/adjust accordingly to the hunting pressure. If we have to pick up and relocate camp losing a day of hunting then so be it. I always feel so much more pressure with permits compared to gen tags/otc hunts...
Anyone else have prehunt jitters going on right now?
