Justin and littlebuf's elk hunt

[Justin Crossley]

Littlebuf and I will be hunting archery elk together and we should have cell service most of the time.

Littlebuf is already up there and said he is seeing good sign. He told me today that we have a few bulls on the trail cam that he set up near our camp a couple weeks ago.

I'll be hiking in on Friday to meet up with him. Should be a good time. I'll try to post as often as possible while I'm up there.

Update. Big thunder storm went through last night and nothing was talking. Supposed to get a big rain again tonight so im not expect ting much till the high pressure moves in Friday. So far three cows, all by them selves and 1 porkypine. There's a bunch a elk up here though and the rut should be kicking off soon

Rut is going to kick off soon as in Tuesday when I head in?

This morning at 4 a.m. I was feeding the dog outside and looked in your direction at all the thunder and lighting in the mountains and thought to myself "Poor littlebuf, up there all by his lonesome"

Good luck!

Someone told me littlebuff was a teddy bear he must have been scared of all that lightening. Keep calm and stay far away from fanboys like me good luck guys.

 

[orionsbrother]

Good luck! Post frequently for the fanboys stuck at work.

I'm meeting littlebuf's wife right now to grab his backup headlamp.

Tomorrow is going to suck at work. Should hit the trailhead in time for an evening hunt though!

Holy crap I don't think I've ever been in a storm like this before! Thunder for two hours strait now. Probably got 2 inches of rain in about 45 min before it turned to hail. Rain put my fire out in like 5 min! And it was a big fire, half under a tarp. God thing these neo airs float. May be the only way I male it through. Wish me luck , hope I don't get hit by lightning

I just weighed my pack for this weekend's elk hunt.

It weighed 38.5 lbs. with everything included except my boots. That includes all the clothes I'll be wearing plus my bow and water. So total "skin out" weight besides my boots. I thought that was pretty good!
