I woke up this morning with a feelin' of excitement in my gut and didn't know why. I then looked at my kid's calender to see what was up this week and WHAM! it hit me...30 days until I am in Wyoming again chasing the grey ghosts of the high country (Mulie bucks). I will have a cow elk tag in my pocket too and would be tickled to death to kill one with my bow. So who else is short-timing it?

Less than two weeks! Headed to near Pinedale, WY to work with MO Sherpa and Mule Creek Outfitters. Camp jack and cook but will have a cow tag in my pocket. Will be in big mulie country in the Bridgers - livin' on mountain time.

Me, same thing every year.  Gets worse as you get closer.

Here in NW Montana, I live almost at ground zero, and biting at the bit waiting for Sept 4th.

4 years and counting! Retirement hunt!

Yes it is getting close.. 3 weeks 5 days.  I am now having trouble going to sleep at night.

Leave on the 28th to chase mulies around the Dixie Nat. Forest in southern Utah. Already sharpening broadheads.

I'll be going to Colorado for the last two weeks of elk season this year.

Roughly 6 weeks to elk in Colorado.....yippppeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!      

8 weeks & counting for me! Antelope (& hopefully elk) in Pinedale, Wyoming! Looking forward to meeting up with a real good old buddy more than the hunting though  :D

Two weeks till antelope.

Arrows are sharp,bow is ready,time is close,watch out colorado elk,

Leaving in 23 days for Montrose CO. Gonna chase elk for 8 days on a private ranch with three wheelie shooters.

August 15 for antegoats, but what I'm really looking forward to is September in the elk woods.

A little under 3 weeks til we can hit the woods! Excited? You bet!! Good luck everyone!

27 days and a wake up. I might go west across the road; or east around the corner and up the road...
decisions decisions.....

Brian, that ain't fair  

My bags are already packed, all my broadheads are sharp, now I gotta decide on a bow to hunt with....

Good luck you guys. I can't wait for the stories and pics. Hopefully will have some of my own!

26 days and I am a west bound blurr on Hwy 90 after a left turn at Sioux Falls...
Only another 500 miles from there.. lol  

1100 miles from my door to the ranch. This place is worth every mile driven!

Waterhole and spot n stalk Antelope in wide open beautiful country...

My gear list is written and the packing has started.  I've hunted this ranch in 2008 and this time I am self guiding/camping.  I am looking forward to seeing every star in the sky being 90 miles from a large town...! The bowhunting is amazing chasing all this game...

Sept 10 to Utah and then up to Montana for elk and mule deer. Planning three weeks total. Mike

Does Western Kansas count??    Looking forward to the storys and picks.
