The mountains are calling again!

[Rob W.]

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.

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.

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 really want to kill an elk someday!

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!

[CoachBGriff]

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!

[KentuckyTJ]

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.

[lablover]

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
