Haven't posted much lately as I am prepping for my first trip to CO for ELK! I have spent most every evening climbing "my hill" with my pack, making arrows, sharpening broadheads, shooting in new strings and gathering up my gear. My friend Scott from Ohio is meeting me here in IN on the 30th and we head west the next morning.
The area we are headed to has an over abundance of Black Bear and we already have our tags. Will pick up our Elk tags once we get there. So much to get done and time is getting short. I will fill you all in when I get back and try to update on my prep as I find time. I hope to come home with some meat, but full coolers or not, the trip will be a success!

Good luck!
For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people's sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.

Best of luck Mike, it should be a grand adventure, hope you score a big one. I've been wanting to get out there for years.

Which unit are you heading to? I've heard there were some big fires near Colorado Springs not long ago.

Get a big one Mike! When you get home, get hold of Kenny Bayless, the outdoor writer for the Trib-star, he may well do a story about the trip. Feel free to drop my name. Jim
