New Mexico Here We Come! - (Updated - Story & Pics Pg 5)
« on: September 10, 2011, 10:42:00 AM »
The day that I have been  anticipating for the past 11 1/2 months is finally here.   Right now I am rolling through Iowa  with the Goodwife Irene at the wheel.   It will be just her and I - she will be my camp mate in the mountains of northern New Mexico for the next 2 weeks as I seek the elk of my dreams.  

We plan to set camp on Monday morning, and the season that I drew opens on the 16th.  I don't know if I will be able to any updates here by phone, but will try to post if I can get decent service.  

Here we go!  This is what I live for!  Hoping to hear some elk music ringing through the nights and days ahead    :bigsmyl:

Good luck Whip, we are finally starting to get some weather around here.  Temps have dropped, afternoon showers and elk should be getting active.  Keep us posted!

Go Whip, Best of Luck. AND You lucky dog! The recent Elk threads sure have been inspiring. If not during your hunt, I'm sure we're in for a good story and pics at some point.

I hope you are succesful, but just beibg there with the wife is worth the cost of admission.
Archery is a family sport, enjoy it with your family.

No, not quite that lucky Mike....
That would really be a dream hunt, but I'm plenty happy with anywhere in the Rockies right about now.
