Best of luck Lynn, no matter what I know it'll be a great time.  Safe travels on the return trip as well.

   Wow! Internet access in an Elk camp. Somebody's living in tall cotton. :D

    Keep us posted. I'm getting ready for a big antlerless WV youth hunt Saturday taking my 9 y/o granddaughter here on my place. I have been told to stop bow hunting till then so I don't scare her deer off.

    Good luck and keep us posted on your experiences out there. Are y'all hunting anything besides Elk? Any bear, mule deer or antelope hunting included on your plans?

Good Luck Lynn and Marty!
I am envious
Someone mentioned dragging an Elk?
Son and i have killed 4 on unguided hunts and all came out on pack frames less the hide and bones.
I killed one other on a guided hunt in 1990 but it came out in 2 pieces on 2 horses.

Our camp is at 9200' and it is up from here.  My bull tag is the only license that we have.

Never explain, your friends don't need it, and your enemies won't believe you any way.

Marty and I visited with member AlpineCutter this afternoon.


 
We had a very nice visit and of course talked about his new LT28 and hunting.


 
He gave us a package of Mountain Goat brats.  Neither Marty nor I had ever eaten brats so we thawed one out and had a wonderful snack.

Thank You AlpineCutter for the hospitality as well as the bratwurst.

Magicman, you didnt waste any time testing out that mountain goat brat. Hope you liked it. It was great meeting you and Marty today. Thanks for your great advise on my sawmill. I already got the wire brush out and took care of everything.

Well there, didn't wreck it by cooking it with veggies or grits.
