welcome stealth buck! I think arrowing a mule deer would count for this contest, but I am not positive.

My first trip out was scheduled shortly after 9/11. My brother-in-law is stationed at Kirtland AFB in Albuqueque and lives with his family in Tijeras. Even he lost out on his elk hunt that year. I ended up going out in 2002. We saw elk every day. No opportunity for any shots. Didn't know what i was getting into, i wasn't prepared physically and or equipment wise. I went back out again in 2005 with a cow tag and all we saw were bulls. 3 definate shooters if we had a tag. I was in much better shape and brought a GPS with me. This time we have a Muley tag and and an either sex elk tag.
And I have been walking 2-3 miles four or five times a week. Shooting almost everyday. And I don't care if i don't get anything this time either, just being out there in that wilderness is just amazing.

Welcome to the team StealthBuck. Good luck on your Muley and Elk hunt. One of my brothers was recently married in Colorado. And darn my luck, but my new sister in laws father and brother told me and my son we can come out Elk hunting whenever we want. We already are lining up a trip for next year. Good luck to everyone this season.

I got out for a couple hours last evening out behind town. I got eaten alive by blackflies and had way more bear sign around than I was comfortable with. The biggest buck I've seen so far this year has been walking through my backyard two weeks before the season opener. Maybe I'll just stay home and hunt from the back deck...

Good luck to you guys getting out this weekend. Use the 3 day weekend to your advantage and shoot us some big ones!!

Kodiak, I hear you have some big bears in AK. My boss got back last week from a salmon trip, in a place called Naknek. Not that far from you as far as things go in Alaska. They had a couple encounters with some of the big furry brownies wanting to steal their fish :D. The trip started out bad and the guide was fired by the third day, they managed to hook up with someone else and end up having a great time and loads of fish. He did say the bugs where a HUGE pita. I guess you get used to them.Right?
