Thanks for the add. Born, raised, hunted whitetail all my young youth in Middle TN. Joined the US Navy in 86 and moved to SC in 90 with a friend. I'm married and live in upstate South Carolina and continue to hunt and fish here. Headed to Montana for my dream elk hunt last of Oct into Nov which is a guided pack in rifle hunt. I'll be driving there and stopping in TN to p/u my childhood friend which is his 1st Elk as well. We could have went to Utah but Montana has been my dream hunt since I was 6 yrs old hunting with a 410 slug. Reading about those adventures in Field & Stream and Outdoor life penetrated and never left my soul. We turned 50 this year and decided we better start living the dream or keep dreaming. I have enough Sitka gear for 60 degrees to 0 degrees, Shnees and Rocky boots, a new Leupold VX-5HD 3.5-15x44 that is sitting on my Savage 116 30-06 and shooting MOA at 400 yds. even before my CDS dial has arrived. I've been hiking these foothills of the Blue Ridge Mtns since Feb and feel good physical wise. I will start riding a friends horse next month to harden up that end some. Just anxious to see the real mountains, see my breath in the mountain air while listening to the bugle of a bull has always been the dream. I realize I may be hard pressed to hear a bugle Oct-Nov, but the dream is still there...
