    Right?! Twenty something's wishing they had done it sooner lol I guess we can all say that! At 24 all my extra income was spent chasing tail, but they weren't on deer.

    Scott - you know I'm getting excited when I dragged my butt off the couch at 10 last night for a 5 mile run outside:)
    I'd be happy just to get my Dad an opportunity this year...but if the good Lord thinks we should both get an opportunity, I'll be ready.

    Dan - Roadtrip to Oregon for Roosies sounds like an adventure - hope it works out for you!

    Damn Greg - we are the old guys:) I'll be 38 in Oct...

    That did make me smile - starting much earlier would have meant skipping high school:)
    In my 20's - if I had extra coin I upgraded to Keystone Light on Friday nights:)

    First archery elk trip for me was in 2012 at the ripe ol age of 51!
    I leave in under 3 weeks for trip #3 at age 54 and I feel like a little kid at Christmas!
    I'll be 55 in January.

    On a side note, what are you guys wearing as an outer shell/insulation for elk hunting?

    I plan on it being chilly during the desert mornings while glassing in December, and I don't really have any type of puffy or insulation piece that I feel would be serviceable for a week long hunt in the Arizona desert. Figure like most gear, it may be a buy once, cry once type thing, as I could get several years out of it.

    Matt I hope I can get it to work out! I have family and friends that live in western Oregon. My dads friend keeps texting me pictures of big bulls laying in his churches lawn and in people's yards. I need to go!

    Merino is where it's at for a base layer. I'm using KUIU 145 weight tops on my September Idaho elk hunt.
    As a chill eliminator I will use the KUIU Guide DCS vest when hiking, usually in the early morning hours or evenings. http://store.kuiu.com/guide-dcs-vest-p/30011.htm
    I have an inexpensive poofy that I'll pack for times when we're sitting on the tops glassing, I also carry a hooded fleece which, combined with the vest is typically enough.

    What are expected low temps that time of year where you'll be?

    Those roast up nicely and make great burrito fixins!

    I have threatened to turn them into tacos many times. They are both amusing and incredibly annoying if they want to be.
