OK who's on the countdown to a hunt out west?
« on: August 02, 2010, 12:34:00 PM »
I woke up this morning with a feelin' of excitement in my gut and didn't know why. I then looked at my kid's calender to see what was up this week and WHAM! it hit me...30 days until I am in Wyoming again chasing the grey ghosts of the high country (Mulie bucks). I will have a cow elk tag in my pocket too and would be tickled to death to kill one with my bow. So who else is short-timing it?

Less than two weeks! Headed to near Pinedale, WY to work with MO Sherpa and Mule Creek Outfitters. Camp jack and cook but will have a cow tag in my pocket. Will be in big mulie country in the Bridgers - livin' on mountain time.

Brian, that ain't fair  :)

My bags are already packed, all my broadheads are sharp, now I gotta decide on a bow to hunt with....

Good luck you guys. I can't wait for the stories and pics. Hopefully will have some of my own!

26 days and I am a west bound blurr on Hwy 90 after a left turn at Sioux Falls...
Only another 500 miles from there.. lol  

1100 miles from my door to the ranch. This place is worth every mile driven!

Waterhole and spot n stalk Antelope in wide open beautiful country...

My gear list is written and the packing has started.  I've hunted this ranch in 2008 and this time I am self guiding/camping.  I am looking forward to seeing every star in the sky being 90 miles from a large town...! The bowhunting is amazing chasing all this game...
