good luck...Colorado is my home state...Park county area...they should start bugling in a few weeks...

bring some pillow cases...and take care...there are few places more fun to be in than Co in the beginning of Fall...the biggest thing most deal with is the elevation change...

drink more water than you think...and have some advils with you...if not for you ,a bud...and dont talk and walk until you figure it out...LOL...

@ 8500 feet the oxygen is 20-25% less than sea level...

the stars at night are unreal!
have a great trip and good luck!

That's a heck of a deal!,  I was able to find a big variety bucket of Mountain House meals on Amazon for a decent price, but nothing like that - good score!

I'm heading for Colorado elk hunt tomorrow morning @ 5 a.m. Been putting together my "stuff" for the trip for several days. Taking two takedown recurves, a tube full of arrows and a box of broadheads. Two video cameras and a digital pocket-size still camera. Pretty exciting!

John,  you are absolutely right.  what could be better than Elk Hunting in God's country with some of the finest people you have ever met?

Ken aka NJloco, to answer your last question... yes that's the plan.

I bet nights are getting sleepless filled with Annunciation for you guys????
Relax,

You'll live longer!
