Thought I'd update on here too...been posting on the other thread, sorry about not posting on this one. I'll try to keep this one up to date too.
As of 4pm yesterday, Wapiti 2 was heading down the last road to base camp. Must have took a little bit to get ice, pop, water, beer, etc.
Nothing as of last night or this morning, but I'm sure they are in their glory. I did ask how Dave's uncle/best buddy's dad was doing and he said that he was great. I'm sure he's taking it all in. Just too bad that Dave's best buddy isn't here to share in the trip but I'm sure he's looking down on the whole thing and grinning.
Have a good weekend all.

Stan,

I'm pretty sure that is a guide gun. I think it's a .450 Marlin.

That picture is Dave's elk from a few years ago, unfortuneatly I haven't had a chance to hunt elk yet.

Rob,

The fish on the bottom, I caught on a Bucher Topraider. It was almost dark and the water was dead calm, perfect for the top water stuff. When he hit, he came about 3' out of the water. We had to cut the hooks on that one, he smashed it.

The first pic, was on a bucktail off a little weed bed. He followed to the boat on the first cast, and bit on the second cast.

Thanks for the updates , much appreciated

Thanks Phil! When I get some time, I'm going to load my pics back on to my work computer. I got a new one and Mr. IT guy didn't figure I needed all that memory used up on pics so he stored them on a disk.
Thanks again!

Jim

ELK TRIP UPDATE- Text from Dave yesterday afternoon/evening that they made it to their hunting spots, but he hates horses. Said he always did (which I knew after being married to him forever and a day) but now wants to hunt them from the air w/a machine gun. From talking w/one of Dave's friends back here, Dave sent him a text saying that one of the guy's got bucked off and may have dislocated his shoulder. Dave's uncle is going good

Text this morning around 9 am from Dave. Said that a 200 lb mountain lion almost ran over him at full mountain lion sprint. He mentioned that he almost had to shoot it and he was still shaking. Further text messages followed w/one saying that he saw 10 elk but no shots. Then the last message as of right now said that he was watching 3 mule deer.

Sounds like movement is going on. Hope he can shoot something today. Wonder if he crapped his pants over the mountain lion thing? HEHEHE.

There was "movement" yesterday indeed - likely Dave's bowel when that cat tried to run him over. <grin> Tell him SKane said "hey" and to have fun.

DAVE SHOT A COW!!! Got a text message this morning that he got a cow.

From talking w/Dave's step mom, Dave's little brother shot a 4x4 bull, Dave got a cow, Dave's friend got a calf, and Dave's half brother shot and wounded a cow but lost the trail.
I don't think that Dusty has shot anything yet.

Hopefully will talk to Dave sometime soon...kinda missing the guy!

Holy Macarel I just thought about something, Tell Dave you NEED those Wapiti Hides!!! Deer Camp Elk Rugs and Wall decor!!!

Mrs.ND,Thanks for the update.Glad to hear he was successful.Has he said anything about having any snow up there?

Stan

I thought they were elk hunting?

GOOD JOB DAVE!!!

we need pics when you get back.

Tell dave and the boyz congrats from tzone. Good job boys.


Hey dave, how'd that monkey butt powder work after a 120lb cat chased yo azz...

Ms.Dave, please tell me he packed his monkey but powder, we all know he needed it.

120 lb cat would chap my hind end.

Have fun

Rob

ND is wayyyy too savvy. He's convinced Mrs. ND that he is elk hunting when the clear purpose of the trip involved "monkey butt" and a cougar ...

GE

espically if she was under 120lbs.

Missed a call from Dave this afternoon, but he left a voicemail. Sounded good, said they spent the night at basecamp, got a good night's sleep and cleaned up. He also said they were heading back up the mountain to see how the other guys were doing and to pack the meat down to base camp

Sounds like a great trip. Thanks for the updates.

That is great! Sounds like they are having a good time. I have been receiving Dave's texts and got a phone pic of the cow. She looks YUMMY! Have you heard if Dusty has gotten any shots yet Pam?
