RE: YOUR 2006 HUNTING TRIP
Sept 1, Iwill be in Ft Nelson, BC and bugling in the big boys. Usually have to chase off a dozen 5 by 5's before showtime. Will hope to use another round out of my 10 year old box of 30/06 shells. Maybe watch for a nice stone ram if I tag out early.
good luck to all

Come Sept 26 my father and I will be hunting moose in Maine, zone 6 cow tag unless my father can trade it for a bull tag. Then the first week in Oct I'm driving out to CO the durango area for elk second season with some friends who live out there. I getting an OTC bull tag and they got cow tags, they are meat hunters so its brown its down. I will stay out there all of Oct helping my friend on his ranch and fishingand maybe some duck and goose hunting. Then if I have any more space in my freezer I my go to my camp in western Maine for some deer hunting. As you can tell I'm single and has a job that lets me take a lot of time off.

Thanks for the thread, Elkshed is right!
Hell, I got excited about huntin just readin y'alls posts!
I'm not doing anything as exciting as I've read about so far, but I'm pretty pumped about taking my beloved Encore 209X50 and doing some early whitetail hunting in Eastern Kentucky the third week of October. I go with my dad and brothers usually every year in mid November and Rifle hunt but this year, for the first time, we're M/L huntin.
I'll be loaded with 3-50 Grain Pyrodex pellets and a Hornady 250 Grain
L-N-L sabot.
I will find this post and show you how big he is when I get back!

RE: YOUR 2006 HUNTING TRIP
I'm heading to Colorado (from WV ) for my first Elk trip. My buddy and I are going with his dad and brother, who live there and hunt elk every year.
We're gonna be in Redstone (well, on a mountain near Redstone), which is just south of Carbondale, in the 4th season for either sex, which is november 15th to 19th.
I'm gonna be using my new Tikka 7 mag, but I'm still trying to figure out which ammo to use. I've been running/walking/biking to work on my conditioning, and gonna start hiking some hills with a backpack soon.
