Just marking this in the calendar.

I am missing out on the opening days however I will be out next monday unless some tragedy strikes. Looking to see and hear some great reports

If I get lucky you might see a report from myself

We have some good people here that I'm sure will connect.

I'll be up the hill this Thursday heading in.

What a great hunt, guys in Colorado will wait for years to draw this kind of hunt.

Remember 170 class of bust!

deer killed or no deer killed...please
second of all...good luck to everyone, have a great time and soak it all in.

3 more days till its time to head into the high country. I will give a report when I get back next week and look forward to seeing other reports and pictures. Looks like the weather is going to be pretty dang nice for the first few days. Hopefully not too hot.

What equipment are you guys taking in for the hike?

I'll be taking a Kelty Freighter with a Blacks Creek Alaskan strapped to it. Two packs, one to get me to base camp then the Black Creek to get me up the mountain. I like to get as high as I can for the look see. With Friday spent looking "up" trying to put a nice buck to bed.

Ain't gonna be no horses where I'm going.

Steiner 10x42's and a Nikon XL Spotter will accompany me.

For a tent, a MSR Hubba one man tent will be my dwelling. Darn thing is only 20" wide but it is less than 3 lbs.

Pocket rocket and Mountain House will feed me.

Rifle will be a Rem 700 Titanium in 6.5x284. 6.5 lbs exact, nice!

Really look forward to trip reports next week.

Take care fellas and be safe.

BobM, how the hell do you get into a tent that is 20" wide? Heck a standard sleeping bag is 33" wide. That tent of yours would fit one of my thighs.

Most lots are busy enough that they are fairly safe. Lots of packers going in and out etc. Some even have base camps at some of the more popular entrances. LEts see lots of pics!

Now you went and did it.

My wife says I'm worthless now and she can't wait till I go do my thing and get it over with.

btw, my pack is lighter this year than last. I'm at 53 lbs now with rifle.

Aren't you supposed to be elk hunting?

Bobm · « **Reply #15 on:** September 11, 2007, 09:49:00 PM »

wrangler,

I wish I had a mule! Been thinking of taking 3 to 4 goats though...

I will probably stay till the following Wednesday and may not need that much time. I'll be holding out
for something with mass for sure. I'll let the 140 and 150 boys getter bigger for the following years.

I just love this hunt! It's something that I would save up bonus points and put in for if I had to.

Keep your eyes on the avalanche chutes;
First to the top gets first shot.

Ridgerunner · « **Reply #16 on:** September 11, 2007, 09:55:49 PM »

I'm thinking I'll be right at 50-55 going in to. Better be a lot heavier coming out though......
