Legs and back are about half repaired from antelope trip. All guns cleaned and Suv unpacked, laundry done. NOW, packing for a weeks tenting in the Pennsylvania Allegheny Mountains, a part of the Appalachian range. In Pennsylvania they have what I call an "olde Fart" season. Over 65 year olds can hunt does (with a draw license) during the black powder season using a modern rifle or pistol. So now packing for a week tenting, might get son and grandson for the last 2 days. Should be cold 28 oF at night high 50 during days. long range forecast says some rain possible (flurries). So, means lots of stuff...truck will be full. I might end up hunting squirrels for a few days as I can't drag a deer more than 75 yards, downhill...and everything in the mountains seem to be up hill LOL. Years ago, all lightweight to carry foods were expensive; today supermarkets have lots of lightweight stuff (Minute Rice figures in my diet) although my tent will be close to truck. As always, got a Dr appointment Monday at 10am, then take off. Love tenting and this is basically a loner trip. last year had two massive elk walk thru my camp site. ------------- “ The IQ and the life expectancy of the average American recently passed each other in opposite directions.” |

Bear, your the man!!!!!!!!!! It sounds fun, and a plus to have son and grandson. All that AND be able to shoot stuff, that's very hard to beat.  ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

Good luck. I hope you get a doe and a bear. Looking forward to an update. I'm headed out in the morning. just day hunts until November 5th. Then depending on the weather we will be setting up camp for elk hunting. ------------- I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on. |

Yes, We got cow tags south of Wright. All 3 of us have tags but I'm not sure if Austyn will be able to go since she dislocated her ankle playing Volleyball. ------------- I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on. |
