IF YOU COULD ONLY PICK ONE WEEK IN SEPTEMBER TO BOWHUNT ELK WHICH WOULD IT BE? | EP. 246

If you could choose only one week in September to bowhunt elk, which week would give you the best opportunity?

In this episode, Matt Hartsky draws from 34 years of elk hunting and guiding experience to explain which part of September he would choose and why. He looks at changing rut activity, herd bull behavior, cow groups, hunting pressure, weather, and the opportunities each stage of the month can create.

Whether you’re planning a public-land archery elk hunt or deciding when to schedule your limited vacation time, this episode will help you understand how elk behavior changes throughout September.
