High country elk in September!
GregB:
Best of luck to the both of you! I met John at one of the Classic's a few years ago, and he is top notch! Good hunting and stay safe!
Little John:
Long day yesterday Packing and scouting. The horse packing went well with no wrecks and I was well pleased with the scouting session, lots of fresh sign and you know that a herd are using the area, even tracks at the tent site. Was cool, about 50 degrees we used the heater a little going up and comming back down, warmer at mid day. It can be downright hot during bow season on the sunny side of the mountain or freeze an elk quarter at night time. Got the biggest part of the camp gear in and will make one more trip before Pat gets here with food, clothes, grub boxes, and incidentals. Got the bear pruff stash fixed and all our gear up out of harms way. Time will fly for me as I have a big deadline to meet at work by Sept 1st and Pick Pat up at the airport on the second. We will be in camp before dark and ready to hunt the next day. Will have to resize the pics if I can figure out how as the forum won't take them. Kenneth
Pat B:
I couldn't ask for better hosts than Kenneth and his wife Kathie. This is a friendship that came from PA in 2005 or early '06 and has gotten stronger ever since...even after Kenneth had to pack my gringo butt out of the mountains after I sprained my foot pretty badly on that first trip.
Thanks Kenneth. You have made my hunting dreams come true and now for a second time!
I got my license in the mail today, almost have everything(packed Backpack, bows and arrows) ready to ship out to Kenneth's house, hopefully on Wednesday and am continueing stregnuous walks every evening and working on my shooting. The next few weeks will whiz by in no time and before we know it, we'll be hearing and smelling elk and preparing for the shot. 8)
Thanks Kenneth and Kathie. See ya'll soon!
Little John:
Thanks Pat for the kind words, you are a good addition to any hunting camp and welcome any time. Pat has given lots and lots to primitive archery and this is my way of giving back. Also back when this all began Pat was the only one to say an elk hunt would be his ultimate hunt when I asked in a P.A. post what would be your dream hunt. Thanks Primitive Archer Magazine for this forum where friendships are formed. Let the games begin. Kenneth
Little John:
Oh I have to thank my wife Kathie, I could never have gotten all that packing done in one day by my self. Also she is making up a big bunch of trail mix from her dehydrated apricots and other home grown ingredients for us to take. Even better she will load up the horses and pack gear and bring them to us when we need to pack an animal out to the road. Thank God for all the great wifes. Kenneth
