Ryan, Mike, no worries, I am sure you guys are well prepared, probably over packed to say the least. I know I was on my trips to Canada.

Quick, thank you, you are very kind. As for doing this type of thing, I cherish it. I would rather see someones smile on their face after hearing thier first elk bugle in the wild than shooting my own monster whitetail. Second, I am so fortunate to live in this country out here, I can't imagine not sharing. I hope to have you out someday Fran, I look forward to it and you nailed it when you said, Good People, Food and the outdoors...thats pretty hard to put a price tag on.

hahaha as for those sheds.. I guess if you spend enough time in a particular bucks area your bound to step on a set of sheds now and then. I'll tell ya what on ole high rackers set...the other day I almost stepped on them they were so camoflauged in a mess of blowed down timber. I do love finding the sheds to the bucks I am hunting though. Makes if fun. Anytime I walk through the woods hunting, I always catch myself scanning the ground for sheds though..and NOT looking for deer.. I have to remind myself I am hunting and not shed hunting LOL...

Ryan and Mike. I will be driving a full size Dodge 3500 ...all white with black fender trim.. Fuel tank/diamond plate boxin back.. etc... Expect me out front on the side walk about 1:30 p.m. My buddy told me he would cover for me 5th and 6th hour now! We will definately be elk hunting Friday evening. Its a small air port you wont have any trouble seeing me pull up out front.

I need to apologize in advance. The outsides of my construction at my place is still pretty UNFINISHED...Garage still needs built..so the dirt and dust is kind of a pain, but the good news is the house is ready for you guys....

Camper will work great for additional bedding..its all good..guys..

I am really excited today guys...Pumped for you guys to get here we will have a blast...


Hiking a lot during the days locating elk.. packing day packs for lunches and what not... Getting to BED EARLY! so we dont get worn out.. (this is usually the hardest part trying not to stay up allnight bsing..) I am sure you guys wont sleep much the first night but as the days go by and as we chase and hopefullypack out a few critters..that will all change.

My cousin is coming up for the first 4 or 5 days to help out calling and to finish my electrical in my house...I am trying to rent an extra quad for the week too..it will be cheap, a good friend of mine owns the local quad shop...

I have to giggle a bit..I had a cow elk walk through my dusty drive way two nights ago...right by the house...I think she got lost..little does she know who will be at my house in 2 days!

Ok guys.. I better get to work..
