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!

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.

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.
