You got that right, Mike. I tried shooting golf once upon a time. Never could cook 'em up tender enough to eat, though, LOL!

Just heard they have begun to take caribou in Deception Bay..the camp that is farthest north and east of our camp...Camp Kat.

If you look at the map you will see that our camp is the farthest West of all the camps, and is about 100 miles, maybe a little less, from Deception Bay.

Caribou, when moving, easily cover more than 100 miles a week in their trek...so hopefully........

its a full two weeks till the end of our hunt..hopefully if they aren't there at the beginning they will get there before we leave!

That's why I said we should NOT plan on eating 'bou...

Guy's, there is an old saying that goes like this. No expectations = No disappointments. That is the best I can do when it comes to hunting. I am however expecting to have a GREAT time with you all on this hunt. If you are expecting to get a bou, and you do then you have met your expectations. If you don't then there will be disappointment. The only thing I can advise everyone on, is to go on this hunt expecting to have a wonderful time, meet new folks and learn a heck of alot from each other. If you do that then I can promise you that you will enjoy your trip.

Ok gang, I just got off of the phone with Gordie aka Bearman and he said that the caribou are headed to Minto. He said Noah that lives in one of the northern villages had to fly out for something in his helicopter and saw a very substantial size herd heading to Minto. Gordie also stated that time is on our side and with his guess he thinks we are going to have a good time. One thing he did state over and over was bring the bug dope and 2 head nets. They have never had a spring up there like they are having and the bugs are bad. He did say Boney told him that it is cooling off to sround 40 with the wind chill factor but the bugs are there. So a must take is bug dope, head nets and duct tape and gloves that you can wear when you shoot.

take a thermacell, Hill Boy..with lots of cannisters and strips.  Also, a product like Ben's or Muskol with deet. I don't like bug dope..so gloves with bug juice on the, and taping up my cuffs and glove ends and a full headnet is what I am going to try with the thermacell.

Brad, my man. I can really relate to you concerning this. I have cut down from 15 cups of coffee a day to one or two. Hope to never get back to drinking that much again.
Kind of like my uncle. He quit smoking once and said that he didn't cough worth a darn so he started back.
I will be bringing my coffee even if it is instant yuk!  :knothead:

Oh yea did I mention I got a call from Sandy Horne today??? Wonder what that means?? For some unexplained reason on this call I could justify paying for an overnight shipment with a Saturday delivery.
