1. It\'s in SEPTEMBER! You know what I used to do in Nebraska in September? Dove hunt. Fun, but shooting 12 doves is somewhat less exciting than even hearing a bull bugle. You know what serious Nebraska hunters hunt in September? Squirrels, rabbits, and Mourning Doves.
2. It\'s in SEPTEMBER! The best time of year to camp. Mosquitoes are way past their peak. Colors are \"on\" and temperatures are reasonable.
3. Vocal elk. Ever hear a whitetail \"burp\"? It\'s like hearing a baby fart. Nobody cares.
4. It\'s in SEPTEMBER! The rest of the country isn\'t even thinking about hunting yet, and we\'re out chasing the biggest, meanest, loudest critter out there.
5. Rut hunting means interacting with the animal, not just ambushing them.
6. It\'s in SEPTEMBER! You have the rest of the year to hunt with rifles and muzzleloaders, do your winter camping, etc. You didn\'t get an elk? You still have time to fill the freezer.
7. You (essentially) have to camp to hunt elk. None of this \"I\'ll be home in a couple hours\"-business that the whitetail hunters say to their spouses. We\'re doing some serious \"get-the-heck-out-of-your-ordinary-life\"-stuff here.
8. Elk hunting has ruined the thought of going to Africa or something like that for me. I\'d much rather go on an \"unsuccessful\" elk hunt than just about any other hunt I can think of. If I\'m not hunting elk in September someday, I might as well be mixed in the crowd in a European art museum saying \"Umm, nice\" like the rest of them. Nothing compares to being up in the hills!
