Thanks everyone for the good wishes. We should have a great time. I two have a 1 gig memory chip for photos! We should get a lot. We will keep you guys posted from my SLOOOOOOOOOOW speed dial up home PC this coming week...

The weather is forcasted for mid 50s during the days and high 30's at night! Perfect weather for bugling bulls... They havent talked too much this week but are starting to speak up a bit. For years the 15th on into about the 25th has been the best time for talking elk in my area...

Quick, I agree...for a week elk will be the talk..but once we bag some wapiti and make some great memories we will get back to the business at hand and thats defending this title...You had me laughing outloud again with the story about yoru elk calls and wife...

IL... you gonna get back out west again for some elk hunting? Tell ya what if you ever want to hook up for a Montana bull hunt I would love too...

I talked to ( Dan ) Hiawatha last night on the phone...sounds like I may be heading back to Sas for shed hunting some time in the future...probably two springs from now..man is that a blast! Pigs up there...

Anyway, I am just getting my last minute preperations around my place..lots of cleaning...of debris..burning waste from the building...etc.. trying to make this place look a little more civilized than its Bagdad appearance... More siding to do, rails for the porches/deck... etc... Still waiting on my Gravel to get delivered..again...does this ever end??? LOL

No matter what..tomorrow..we'll be cow calling son of a guns!
