Mud... slow and steady wins the race. That can be applied to Elk hunting.

Sept 7th for stick and string. I was so intent on the "right under you nose" areas that I never go into the "back country" areas so I'll more than likely wait until the rifle opener on the Oct. 26. Losta weird growths on trees where I was...

But ya never know.. I'll be poking around long before that and the bow needs some fresh air...

I wake up thinking on it and it puts me to sleep nightly.

Poured and re-poured over topos and realise that things arn't as they appear and things are not like they were... routes and roads are more different now. New ones made and old ones abandodned.
