Who's hunting this weekend?

Postby Bullnuts » 08 20, 2012 •  [Post 1]

Friday can't get here soon enough! I have everything packed and I'm planning on getting out of town early Friday morning so I can get camp set up. Who else is hunting this weekend? Good luck and shoot straight!

I'm headed up Thursday evening to make sure I find a spot to construct my hotel (19x19 wall tent). I'll be hunting for 10-days unless I tag out sooner :)

Heading up Friday morning. Hiking in about 4 miles and setting up camp with the intention of coming out on Monday. Same plan for next weekend too!

Heading out Thursday morning, drive 6 hours, last hour on 8 miles of washboard gravel so that takes a while. Then set up camp (easy with a 5th wheel :).

Check things out Friday and start hunting first thing Saturday for 8 days (hopefully I wont need that long for at least a deer). We have tags for elk, deer, cougar and bear, so I'm looking for anything :)

Good luck to everyone!

Went out last weekend, it was good to be packing the bow up in the mountains again. Went with a couple guys that just want to get their first elk but all I could get within their range was a calf, we had a good time messing with it though. Came close on a cow and some spikes for them but just couldn't close the deal. I'll probably be packing in a spike camp this weekend.

My fear every year!!!
Heading out this morning to get groceries and putting my final packing list together. Thinking I may try to get out of town Thursday afternoon instead of Friday!

We will be finishing packing the trailer this afternoon and leaving here in WI around 8 this evening. We should get to Kerney, NE for breakfast and a stop at Cabela's. Gotta stop there even if we don't buy anything. Huh that ain't likely. We should be in Montrose, Co that evening making a stop to buy our liscense. will set up camp the next morning. Hopefully I will get my tree stand set up and be ready to arrow one opening. If not then, maybe in the next two weeks. Hopefully I will get to see the bull that Crazyelkhunter kills this year :P .
Have a great hunt this year. It will be great to get back up higher then high compared to here in WI.

Callem in and shoot straight. WI bowhunter
