Until the next day !

Perhaps, not so "solid" then !

Colorful though....

I missed the elk conversation! Dang it. My group is headed to Wyoming with either sex tags for archery. Tom, be careful, elk hunting is a worse addiction than deer hunting. and getting a fix every year is hardly enough.

MMMMmmmmm. Blueberries.

Oh yeah-guilty as charged. With home made ice cream too. Or with my dad's world famous flapjacks.

We used to do the same thing with blackberries when I was a kid. We had a lot of them in the woods near our house. Wild raspberries while up in Yooperland, Mich. too. Lots of small town festivals up there with raspberries as the theme.

We have, er I mean, had a bunch of blackberries in our backyard til the kids found em.

Well I'm gonna have to, the blueberrys are great!

I was just reviewing the rules for turning in a application for the Camp Ripley archery hunt. Think I'm gonna apply. I talked to a couple guys on line who said you pretty much get drawn every year now. It used to be there were more applicants than tags, and it was about an every-other-year proposition. That's a fun hunt, although kind of tough with no scouting.

Jeff, I hope you have a better time at Ripley hunting, than I did at the Army Reserve summer camps!

I have to get into see my M.D. to get my crossbow permit updated. I get the exemption due to my heart condition.

Gotta say it guys-I'm really getting the itch to go deer hunting. Can't wait for archery to open up. Was looking at the crossbow last night. Time to start practicing. Too hot yet for a trip to the rifle range, but some trigger time on the AR would be nice right about now. Anyone else getting anxious to hit the woods?

Getting there. Just got back from a scouting trip to Wyoming. Was thinking that the 25-06 was going to be the ticket but there's a lot of thick timber. Definitely running triple shocks if I take it. Considering a lever in 30-30 or 44 magnum.

bucktail,

Where in wyoming and what are you hunting?

Jeff

Deer in area 65.

Do any of you guys that hunt WY get tags OTC? I could get into this hunting the west thing.

Sunday was the first time fishing, in a month !

Was getting the DT's !

There are leftover tags in some areas but they don't last long. Pronghorn would probably be your best bet.

I'd be game for this if you want a wingman Tom.

I'll probably take my 13 year old wingman. We don't go on too many hunting trips without each other these days.

Antelope hunting is a good time and an easy hunt. Be a great hunt for a kid. I've asked my oldest daughter and I can't get her to go. She likes to deer hunt here in MN, just can't get her to make the leap to out west.
