My Dloop wore out at the worst time ever. Bull walked off and I’m in town getting it fixed now. Back into the mountains this afternoon.


      Yikes! I have Dloop material in my possibles pouch just for such an incident. How far in were you hunting? How far to town?

        Your more than welcome meet me in Lincoln County this coming thanksgiving week for my cow hunt. I bet i could find you a uw cow tag for reasonable cost as well. Not a bull but you can get your feet wet with handling and packing loads of elk if we fill the tags.

            It's game time, ladies and gentlemen! Adam and I will hit the trail in about an hour. Hopefully we'll report back during the week while we're dropping meat at the cold storage!

              Good luck Michael!!!

              I washed the last of my gear last night. All packed now, just waiting until my flight to Alberta on Sep 13th. Will be hunting southern Alberta's Porcupine Hills area through the 23rd and will be based in a little town called Claresholm.

                  We were quite aways out from camp where we had a toolbox full of repair stuff. Tried tying one on myself and couldn’t get it right with my peep. First time replacing a Dloop. It was about 45 min from the closest town with an archery shop. Got it done right and I’ve been back in the elk. Had a shot at a cow, but was trying to work a bull. He just wasn’t interested enough as he had 5 cows with him already. He took his girls and left.

                              Headed to unit 81 in CO on the 12-23rd time frame. If any of you leave for the season and want to help a fat guy from walking way too much looking for elk out me and my aeration system would much appreciate it. Good Luck to all the hunters.

                                Ok. I will be camping using a tent. Probably camp in The 6-7k elevation range. It is possible to have snow and probable that the wind will be blowing and it will be cold.
                                I will have a lion tag with me as well. Sometimes I get distracted from my elk hunt trying to call another lion in.
                                I know the unit very well so we will be mobile until we find a herd. Then we will hike into wherever the elk are.
                                We will see some very big bulls that are off limits. But you will get a chance to visualize bulls and possibly communicate with them.

                                We will probably be on the NW side of the unit for camping.
                                I will show you some things on the public grounds so you will get an idea of what your looking for when you ever start scouting for your own bull hunt.
