Thanks bullklr I have been sorting gear and gathering supplies/preparing today and well for a while. Now everyone that is not into bow hunting like me they all tell me you have 3 months still what are you doing? Any way bullklr I had yet to think about my supplies being scavenged by critters. Maybe I will have to tie my food up a tree out on a limb or something. Thanks I will mill that over. only 86 days 4hrs left. but who is counting.

I've hunted spike camps for years! For me it has been the most productive way to hunt elk. I usually take mre's and filter straws! and some other light weight cooking tools.. But most important for me is Grouse! I live off of Grouse when I am in the high country... That's how I pack so light. For me they are everywhere. Another trick is this. You know those loggin roads that are closed with a gate but go for miles... I get way back there on a mountain bike and a small trailer that I built. A great way to get way back there and quitely too!! Hope I made up your mind!

Muliefever,

Yep, exactly!

Muliefever I'm glad to hear you think this is a good idea. I have not done a spike camp for elk yet but it is encouraging to hear it has been productive for you. I picked up a bunch of light weight camp gear today. I too will be counting on a couple grouse here and there. Thanks for the possitive input.
