Hey Guys,


Dang its been hard to get in here for a couple days. No kills to report here and I apologize for not stopping in over the Labor Day weekend. Just really busy here hunting with my brother and then visiting with family that came up to stay with us.

Had some close calls over the past 6 days of bowhunting and some very slow days too. Battled the heat and a nasty lightening thunder storm that literally blew me out of my stand..first time in a long time I've been a little concerned for my health, but Imade it out..

Ok quick update on hunts.. I've hunted 5 different stands in 6 days. I didnt see the big 4x5 until Sunday... he finally made an appearance about 100 yards up on the mountain from where I was set up. Of course he came out under another one of my stands. My brother and I both had younger bucks under us two different times. I had 20 elk come by one afternoon and Rob had 25 on another right under his stands. Small bulls and cows. The big group Rob was over had a big bull in it but he stayed back in the timber till dark.

I am hunting again this evening and havent and dont plan on missin a day of whitetail huntinguntil Hiawatha gets here on the 14th for elk.

I hope everyone is getting geared up and ready to go. Maybe tonight will be the night, I have a perfect southwestern wind and I will perched along the top of a big mountain ridge saddle...

Take care guys and again I am sorry for not getting in here sooner, I actually did a few days ago...posted a reply here and as I posted it my computer here at work lost the connection breifly. I didnt have time to repost until last night after hunting and work and the site was down..

Its been great hunting, I've seen 3 bears, several small bucks over 100 elk ...via glassing from stands etc.. and 3 good bucks.. so far.. including the big 4x5..
