This time next week I hope to be hiking the first leg of my 8 mile hike!  I've got a date with a nice alpine meadow at 6800' (saw a moose and a really nice buck while scouting)  :tup:

Deer or no deer this is going to be a very memorable hunt with my Brother-in-law!  Can't wait to see your post this year Hirshey...especially if you bag 'forklift'!!

REI right by my office.  I'll be heading there right after work. I shall be testing two new (lighter) items on my hunt. (I'd rather have tested before going on the hunt, but I haven't had time.) Trip in last month I saw that big bear and enough sign that makes me want to go back. I kinda wish there was a trail into this place as it would be easier on my body. -Then again, someone else would have been there before me. Weather looks promising!

I'm hoping the weather cools down slightly...foretasted to be in the 80's with low 50's at night.  Would like to see a 10 degree drop maybe even a 15, and dare I say 20...

Very excited.  Second time for me with my 9 year old daughter in tow.  She thinks it is the coolest camping trip ever.  I did my first trip solo and saw more animals, but the trip with her was a lot more fun.  We did a 16 mile round trip with 3000+ ft of elevation gain and she couldn't stop smiling.  I was one proud daddy.  Bringing a fishing pole this time.

Got a few weeks left for my season...had a dream last night about helping a guy I used to know packing out his Elk....then I'm in a meadow watching dozens of bulls getting spooked and running off.  I see a coyote running around and get of a  few shots.  Then a small gray blur grows into a Bobcat...30 feet tall.  I dropped it in one shot then freaked cuz I didn't have a tag for it...    :dunno:

Pepperoni and Jack Daniels BBQ sauce before bed time.. :yike: :chuckle:
