    Never dreamed this would be something I would ever do!

    Heading out the door in about 7 hours to start the journey to unit 12. Haven’t been this nervous about a hunt in a long time. Not sure I will get much sleep tonight. Going to stop in Salt Lake City tomorrow night so that the old man can get some sleep in a bed rather than the passenger seat of...

    Thanks archer! I’ve been dropping pins on just about every tank in the unit that’s either on or close to the public ground that I’m thinking about hinting. The unit has been getting some good rain filling up most tanks. Hopefully there’s still a little left when I get there. Sent from my...

    Before I had kids, I started to lose my patience with my dad when we hunted together. Looking back, I was just impatient and immature. As I got older and had my own kids, something changed. I started to appreciate being out in the woods with him more and more. Leaving three days early should...

    Yeah. I totally wish flying was an option. Will be a lot cheaper for me to drive when I’m packing enough food, clothes, and hunting gear for a 10 day hunt. Plus, I hope to be able to bring a few hundred pounds of elk meat and antlers home. Since my 74 yr old dad is tagging along, I have to make...

    So just before the New Mexico deadline, my buddy talked me into putting in for deer, elk, and Barbary sheep in the state of New Mexico. I have grown up hunting my entire life in the state of Washington and have never hunted out of state so this was a huge step for me. I decided that since I was...

    Outer layers for September Elk hunt

    Recently added a puffy to my hunting clothing boxes. The first time I wore it I was instantly regretting not purchasing one so many years ago. It will compress down to nothing to conserve space and provides a great amount of warmth when needed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tire Chains

    Totally agree with chains on all four tires. If I have to stop to put them on, it’s only a few extra minutes to get them on all the tires. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How’s your fuel prices

    Gas prices are almost $4.00 a gallon here in western WA where I live. Drove to San Diego last week and paid almost $5.00 a gallon. Just about made me sick considering what we were paying only a year ago. [emoji2359] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
