wow, you guys will be out there a month? I can only dream of that! Sept 11, WY, hunt 7-8 days. Yes the fever is running high! I am certainly glad my wife doesnt know how much I am thinking about elk hunting and not thinking about the lawn or cleaning the garage!

by **Lefty** » 08 10, 2015 • [Post 4]

I have about a 2 hour drive to camp. Ill be leaving right after school on Friday the forth.

Doug I have a simple request on your bear baits if you're bringing good Minnesota baits,.. I prefer gummy bears ( please no cinnamon bears, black licorice or pastry filling,.. Oh an a GPS location :lol:

Stop it lefty, your making me hungry! How about 100lbs. of dog food and 70lbs. of molassas?
We used to get cases of brownies,and racks and racks of "hostess", two for the bears, one for me,two for the bears,one for me....
We also used to get 55 gal drums full of candybar nugget,made of butter,sugar, and sweetened condensed milk,you have no idea how good that stuff was!!! The bears bypassed douhnuts for it!

Let's see. I will be leaving at noon every Friday for the next who knows how long starting this Friday. First we have Utah Archery, then Idaho, then back to Utah for my oldest boys rifle (Firefighter so he can't make the archery), then we have a cow muzzleloader tag. Fun to be had and I am sure I will have some very sore legs, feet and back somewhere along the way. Elk in the freezer, mmm good chow!

by **Huntrgathr** » 08 13, 2015 • [Post 39]

My mind left for elk camp about three weeks ago. My body will rejoin it on Aug. 28. 2 bull tags, 2 buck tags, 2 wolf tags, bear and Mtn.lion so I'll be out there for all of September parts of October, all of November and , if the big bucks haven't given me a fair chance yet, right into December. The freezer's just about empty so the 28th can't come soon enough ! Now...what was I supposed to be doing....?

by **Charina** » 08 13, 2015 • [Post 40]

Less than 24 hours now!!! Headed out just after noon tomorrow. Sadly, my shooter, my wife, the only one with an archery tag, decided she had to go to a friend's daughter's wedding on opening weekend! Whaaaa??? Where are the priorities here??? Well, that's not stopping me. I'm STILL going tomorrow, even without a valid tag. I'll just have to tie a couple to trees for her to shoot (has a cow tag, and a spike tag - so can shoot two cows, or a spike and a cow). The boys and I will have fun fishing and eating smores on opening weekend while doing a bit of scouting. Can't hardly focus at work.

by **elk.addict** » 08 13, 2015 • [Post 41]

I'm just hunting evenings (after I get off work) 9-6 thru 9-11. But I'm heading to elk camp from 9-12 thru 9-27.
