Let The Hunt Begin!
« on: August 29, 2008, 09:37:00 AM »
I'm sitting in a hotel lobby in southern Colorado.  In a couple of hours we will have the groceries purchased, truck gassed up, and will start up the dusty road to the top of a mountain in New Mexico.  Two weeks of bliss, camping with my wife.  She's a gem, and will let me chase the bulls for a few hours each morning.  I have promissed to spend plenty of camp time with her the rest of the days.   :wavey:

Heading out with the boy next door as soon as he gets out of school today for some muley.  Struck-out a couple of weeks ago.  Gonna climb higher this outing and hope to find one.  
Whip, you've already found great success having a wife that will go with you!  
Best,
Quinn

Sounds perfect! Well if you add a bull hanging in camp that would top it off...

OK! For all of us sitting at home - after the hunt comes the stories - I am waiting.

Good luck and hunt safe!

Yep, "the hay is in the barn" as they say, for most all of the preparation has taken place as we eagerly await another long anticipated Elk season.  Many sacrifices along the way both physical and financial but it is worth it when you are fortunate enough to see, smell, hear and or taste the mighty Elk.  I can tell by the posts that the calm frenzy is alive in both those who are writing in and in those who are reading it. It seems we all share an insightful glimpse into the power that the hunt holds for each of us.  It is simply awesome. Good luck, stay safe and let us know of your journey this season.

Sounds like the begining of a great memory. It's always good to have someone along to help pack out the meat. Smart thinking to invite your wife.  :biglaugh:  Have a safe and enjoyable trip.
