10 days and I have no idea what unit I am going to yet... there's elk all over these parts

I'll be leaving for Idaho in exactly one month.  Got most of my gear together and packed.  Could probably leave tomorrow.

Will hopefully have camp setup about now two weeks from today

How are the elk looking around the Crested Butte area this year ?????

I camped up by  oh -be- joyful creek two weeks ago. We sat in camp and watched 50+ elk feed each evening. Then after dark we watched the sky for the international space station.  Way to       much fun.

First time elk hunter here. Got drawn for a good unit in Ariz. Cow only but very excited anyway.  Have some friends who know the area very well (don't quote me but I think it's near the mogollan rim and it borders a res.) Can you tell the diff between the space station and any other satellites

[PICKNGRIN]

Looking forward to your stories and pictures Joe!

[joe ashton]

Yes the space station is the 3rd brightest thing in the sky (Sun, moon) and it crosses the sky fast. Horizon to horizon at most in 6 minutes.
Check the international space station web site for times and locations.

I have an app on my phone that lets you scan the sky and tells what Stars planets and objects you are looking at.  It's called SkyView.  You can look down at the ground and see what is on the opposite side of the earth as well.

Back to the topic!    

Today I'm making new strings for two bows.  B50, so it will t a few days to break them in.

Broadheads are Sharp and mounted.  Pulled the pack apart and am going to rethink it.  Just a daypack, you'd think it would be simple but I keep over thinking it.

Good luck to all you western boys chasing elk...have an enjoyable, safe and successful season!....someday I'll make it out there to hunt those majestic bulls

[CoachBGriff]

Good luck to ye' ol'elk hunters!

I'm completely jealous and I miss the mountains terribly.

Next year will find me huffing and puffing over rugged rocks and dusty hills!
