Agreed cedar too soft. I would rather have edge grain elm than Osage.

Prayers for Randy and his family.

God Bless,

Good to know! That would be nice to work labor day into the trip to use one less vacation day. Any earlier than that and we'd be cutting into our prime salmon trolling weekends haha!

Were you hunting migrating caribou at that time of the year or were they resident animals that weren't on the move quite as much?

How close were you able to get typically? From videos and such that I've watched, they don't appear to be super wary. At least not anything like the whitetail we have around here.

I figured someone would have started this thread by now as they are wrapping up week one.

Anyhow, hopefully we'll get some great stories and pics on this thread...

I wasn't able to make it, long story and you can read it here if interested...

No, we had Contributing Members long before we had to deal with the classifieds fiasco.

However, if you become a contributing member, you get access to the classifieds automatically.

Elburg cherokee --> just like that 

Ive been keeping my eyes peeled for one for many many years and then someone just makes a post and here one is.... its like fishing and not having the right bait 

If you end up making it,  bring rain gear and whatever you got for rubber muck boots ....  a must have (the boots) if it rains even a little.   Especially if you shoot the Pig Pen course.

Hey, Terry. Is "contributing member" status the same as the fee for the classifieds, or is there more involved/more benefits? was thinking about renewing my membership.

Edit: sorry, I didn't see the explanation at the green link. my apologies.

No you didn't! I spent the night at the LaQuinta Inn the night before arrival day.

I was talking about the snowstorm Terry.  Sorry for the miscommunication.
