After such a wonderful DIY elk hunt last year I really thought I would have to sit this year out because of time and money. Well, it turns out my lovely wife gave me the go ahead to go again this year!

I put in enough vacation for 16 days of living out of my pack. I have been hiking with a loaded pack the last couple weekends trying out some new equipment. Here is about mile number 10 of a 15 mile stroll.

Good Luck Rob!!!
That's fantastic. I wish I was heading to the mountains this year but I have to sit out due to time and cash. I'll be heading to the mountains next fall though. Good luck and enjoy the trip.
good luck Rob!
Sounds like a good excuse to whip up a nice stout self bow.
Good luck Rob!
By the way, is that Clifty Falls State Park your hiking in? I did some early summer training there a couple of years ago for an elk hunt....nice trails.
Westbrook, I have a nice 67# osage and some heavy bamboo arrows ready to go but I need to shoot it more before I will feel comfortable taking it.
Rick, that is a trail around Indian and Celina lake. I would like to hike Clifty Falls this year before it gets too hot.

Yea Buddy :thumbsup:
I can't wait! I'm planning to take 16 days also...kinda hurts giving up my whitetail rut vacation but I really want an elk and can hunt whities on the weekends.
Congratulations and good luck! I wish my wife would give me the go ahead on a few adventures I have in mind.
Good luck!
I'll be back after them every year even if I have to borrow the money lol
Good luck! I really want to kill an elk someday!

Oh yes back in the mountains for me also this Sept..

We are only allotted a certain number of years in our lifetimes. If you miss one in the mountains you can never get it back. Glad that you're going to make it!
X2 whip.
Giddy Up! :thumbsup:
That's awesome!
I love the mountains. A buddy and I do a trip for sheds about every year, and I definitely get "the call" about Feb/March to return!
Good luck!
Best of luck Brother! I sure wish I could have gone with you. Pick me out a good spot for next time. Can't wait to hear about the adventure.
Good luck, but have a great time. Will be there next year.
That's why I moved to north Idaho. Time and money.
Now I can just walk to the mountains. Glad your wife gave you the go ahead good luck
