Drive for sure Norm. No flying for me.

Thanks for the offer!

I will be in touch.

Even my wife wants to come.

I’m getting excited.

I will be there. Probably bring small camper and before or after visit friends in Montana. Should be Lake Superior fish in freezer I can bring along.

I hopefully will have some fish also.

I can pack my outdoor fish frying rig.

Wives are certainly welcome too.
Forgot to mention we have fly fishing here. It must be good some people come from a long ways off to fly fish. There are fly fishing guides available.
Just talked to the chef. She is available for whatever we want. Having fish available will be a definite plus. We'll probably do Friday night supper, breakfast, lunch and supper on Saturday. I can provide elk burger, elk roast and elk steak.

I absolutely would love to go to this. Count me in.

As some of you guys may remember, I had a Fest scheduled here in Mich until Covid came along.

Good to see we have some willing travelers!

Currently a member from North Carolina has the long distance claim. But haven't heard from Mel in Hawaii yet....

non-resident elk license has to be applied for by Jan 31.
Will get to work with Zazzle to get cups with the Savage Fest license plate. May be a few days.

For elk

What unit? Do you recommend?

Thanks

Angus, the elk are still up in the wilderness that time of the year. Wyoming requires a local guide to go into the wilderness. You'll need to contact a guide and get the area # from him. I got my bull in area 97 in 2005. That guide is out of business now. Any local can guide you but I'm too short of breath to go up there.

After talking it over with my wife, its not in the cards this year. My Savage Rendezvous is the month before and our oldest Son is getting married 2 weeks after yours. Someday 😔

Good to hear of a planned fest. I'll sure keep it in mind. Wife and I have talked about a west trip for a few years. Have close cousins in Denver area, want to see some of the well known historical sights and 'the Rockies'. I've never been west of the Mizzouri River (Iowa native). Was all set to attend RAS's Michigan Fest in 2020, disappointed it was cancelled. Will advise as time gets closer, would love to attend.

I hope you can come. I think it's the greatest place on earth. There is a lot to see and do here that time of the year.

We are kicking around the idea of driving out would be great to meet some new faces in this savage collector world!!!

If you decide to drive out let me know. We might meet up. We are thinking of doing some sight seeing before or after?

Since we're in Wyoming and the land of cowboys, how about a cowboy themed event?
David is probably already set.

I'll be sporting a holstered Savage 101 pistol and will come up with a hat, jeans w/belt buckle, shirt and boots by September.

Best dressed cowboy/cowgirl contest?
Boot toss game?
Horse shoe contest?
Spin the pistol?

There is a mechanical bull rental in Jackson.
Here is the sign up list so far;
1) Joe Martin
2) Cowboy Calhoun
3) Ranger Rick99
4)
5)

Rick, have you already had zazzle do the cups? If so, I'd like 3. Thanks, David

Not yet, but here is what they'll look like.
I'll report back when ready.

I'll take one

Norm
