Holy Crap!!!  Only 23 days before we leave for CO and I'M NOT READY. hahaha

Of course most of my stuff never got totally unpacked after last year.  Just need to put the finishing touches on arrows/broadheads.  Maybe make another spare string.  Check the Rokon and make a longbow holder for it to replace the wheelie scabbard.  Camp meeting is this Saturday.

Only missed two seasons since 1993 and one of those was medical related.

First time in 4 years I'm not counting the days.  We're passing this year up and let me tell ya it's weighing heavy on me.  Nothing (so far) to compare to the elk woods.  I love to hunt whitetails, but it's just not the same!!

Heading into the mountains in NV for mule deer in 2 days!  Can't wait, got the wife on the video camera again.  Got a nice buck last year, it'll be on my website soon.  Hitting my editor with a cattle prod to get it done!

Brian,

I know what you mean do I take a short trip or a short trip to my hunting spots?  I have a hot elk spot about 30 miles from the house, and plenty of them closer.  I deer hunt two miles from my place.  In Washington we consider anything east of Idaho to be back east.

Does Texas count? Five months away for me. Most of my deer hunting is done west of my house, about 80 miles in central NY.Next year Ill probably do Montana or Wyoming for deer.I sure do miss it out there.

I'll be a couple of days behind you, Matthew.  Atleast we aren't competing with Herdbull in there this year.

We have been in camp here in the San Juans of southwest Colorado for about a month. Doing a few things around camp just waiting on the last weekend of this month. This is my 46th year to come chase either mulies, bear, or elk. I never get tired of it but the mountains get bigger and steeper every year.
Time spent alone in the woods puts you closer to God.

"Can't" never accomplished anything.
