Six full days of hunting (early September to late September). Any Archery hunt, I'd highly recommend buying a bear tag, too. The past few years we've been seeing an incredible amount of bear during archery season.

There is no other sound in the wild that can equal the bugle of a bull elk and bowhunters are slap dab in the middle of it with their season taking place during the center of the rut. Archers have harvested some magnificent bulls in tha last few years... and word is getting out.
