Title: one week...what are you doing to be ready?
Post by: WAcoyotehunter on August 31, 2010, 11:33:35 AM: I have got one load (horseback) into the "base camp" already and will have another load to "spike camp" tomorrow. I've been shooting daily and am wearing my camo jacket/binos/face mask...while i practice. I have to get some camp groceries and hunting supplies (elk pee, wind indicator...) and pack my wall tent in and set it up, and I'm ready!

What have you got left to do to be ready to go?

Bags are packed. Just need to load coolers and clothes. The hardest job is trying to stay focused at work the rest of the week :chuckle: :chuckle:

I'm working a bunch of OT this weekend to build my comp time back up for days off. This weekend I'll be cleaning out the truck and getting packed!

Post by: halflife65 on August 31, 2010, 10:34:20 PM: Got the bow out this morning and shot it for the first time this year and am ready to head out in the morning. Should be ok, I think.

Actually, been shooting everyday for awhile now, just got done packing up my day stuff for on-the-way-home-from-work hunts this week and will be taking off early Friday for the long weekend. Feeling good.
