Ready,

Man, I have been ready since 15 November. Each year the urge is the same....sometimes it happens in early spring or late summer. Sometimes in early fall. Cow tag, bull tag or both, I do not care. This will be my 31st year of elk hunting. Same area, nearly the same camping spot. Sometimes I harvest, sometimes I don't....but, they are all successful. During that time I have missed four seasons....all because of commitments to the Navy. No more. I will retire in 2 years and will never have to miss another. The best thing about the past two years is that my wife has joined me.
