    The local fly shop had a 20% off sale this spring so I got my setup for about $160. That's rod, reel, line, and some flys. I was surprised to see that line costs like $50 alone.

    Hi Mark, yes that Mulie had a massive rack, at one point I honestly thought it was an Elk until I saw its forks!

    I'm packing my Shakespeare 4ft spinning set up I got from Bass Pro for $60 and then I bought some awesome spinners and boy oh boy do they work 'Martin Panthers'..... I'll be buying some more of them spinners this time.

    As long as u have the number you don't need the physical card. Might be easier.

    Being who i am. I hate paper. Thus when I got my temporary number on a big piece of paper i opted to throw it away thinking i would receive the card. Unfortunately this isn't the first time my habits have screwed me over

    I would think that you could call your dnr headquarters and verify some information and they would tell you the number.

    do alot of shots come off your knees or standing? I was just wonder how much practice I need shooting off my knees and if its beneficial to have knee pads.

    I'm assuming bugs aren't bad up on the mountain but would it be a good idea to bring my thermacell along just in case?

    Never been bothered by bugs up high, so its personal preference, but I do carry a small headnet in a stuffbag(smaller than a pack of cards)

    I went shopping for wool socks today. It's 97 degrees here today, which made the sales clerks look at me like I had lost my damn mind :) . I'll probably order some this week since no one had any out yet.

    The last four days will be fine Chopayne you will have a good time.

    Dave I watched ya'lls hunt nice video. I really liked all the elk you got into and I really like that camp you had. Looked like an elevated indian wig wam.


    Button, I bet that was a sight to see. My wife was nice enough to order me a few new pairs from Legendary Whitetail deergear.com


    Dan I haven't had any problems with bugs but I'll also bring some OFF
