I go home to the Kootenays of BC, Sept. 08 and set up my bush camp on the 9th. The GOS opens the 10th and it is 6-point only.
I will go solo this year by choice and am limited by age and old injuries as to packing distance. I will be using the Seek Outside Divide pack I just bought and backing it with a modded original Dana Design Shortbed.
I use a Hilleberg Saivo, with a large Hille. tarp to build a bush camp that is luxurious for one and I do NOT build fires.
I know exactly where the elk hang out, very high, tough country, so, have probably about a 5-10% chance of success. But, Mulies,WT Deer and Grouse are available and Moose a bit later....so fun will be had.
Hope to blood the new Kimber MA-.280AI and will bring one of my Dakota 76-.338s as well.
Hope to do 3-4 trips of this type, about 5 days per and am feeling better than I have in the past 4 years.
