Good point J. Hey, where are all the other guys at? Mad, Mud, Fats, Flap??? We moved the Wyoming trip and are leaving on the 9th instead of the 11th... I'm pumped hopefully I can whack a doe and Mule deer. It would be really great since we don't have a .85 multiplier for mule deer here :D
I dont have a hooyman to brag about so I wasnt chiming in. But I do have an awesome saw duck taped to the end of a pool net pole.LOL
I am here. I have been in Seattle visiting family. Got to get that in before the season begins on Sept 12th here in Wisconsin.
I'm here fellas. Forgot our damn Laptop charger at my parents. I currently have 23 minutes of power left to last me until friday, so i cant be on long. Shot my first 3D today, second time shooting in 9 months. Lots of 10's and 12's. Hopefully i can keep my cool when i need to. Hooyman is definitly on my list but for now i'm getting a new cap for my truck so the hunting fund is a little low. Sounds like a sweet trip to wyoming Dubbs, what kind of temps are you expecting?
Awesome guys. Mad, definitely get that in before season starts. :D Generally where we'll be the highs will be in the high 50's to low 60's. The lows... well they can be anywhere from the 40's to single digits. I would expect lows in the mid to high 30's. I take lots of clothes, but it sure is easy to sleep in a tent with lots of stuff wrapped around ya. :D
I am frantically trying to get ready to leave on Thursday evening to start a Colorado elk/mule deer hunt on Saturday. We are going to focus primarily on elk, but I did draw a mule deer tag in the unit we are hunting, so if opportunity knocks......well, we will see. I have also trimmed and checked my old stands and hung 1 new stand over the past two weekends trying to get ready for our local opener Oct 3rd. I've got 3 more stands to prepare out of a total of 19, so I feel pretty good.
20 days left here and a good thing too because the last backstrap was dinner last night. Think I will try for a quick doe to ease the opening jitters and refill the freezer. Come on sep 15th!! My luck it will be high 80s that day. Good luck to all you guys traveling to hunt it will me late october before I get to travel for my shot at a decent one.
Sounds good guys... Flap, where you headed in Colorado? I hunted unit 17 last year for elk and it was pretty rough but I did see a couple of STUD mule deer. 20 stands!?!? How in the world do you pick which one sit? :D Good luck in the CO
If you guys are done measuring your hooyman against each other did you figure it out yet that team 14 is going to win this year??????? Just wondering...
Even though we're sticking with the same name, i just saw a perfect one for the future. Offensive yes but funny. The "stepdads" cause we beat you and you hate us..
Thats funny! hows everyones weather mine is perfect 78 deg yesterday. Had the buddies over and about wore out my 3D buck. To bad it probably wont last come the 15th it will probably 90 Deg. I need to send the kids out behind my target my friends wasted about 50 bucks worth of arrows and I have a 4x8 backdrop. it was fun though.
It's been pretty cool here as well. Was 45 degree's when I got up this morning... which is almost unheard of for August here in KS.
It's been fantastic here too... I woke up and it was 59 degrees. Definitely the lowest August temp I've ever seen in Oklahoma. It should be awesome in Wyoming next week! :D
I Work for a wastewater plant here and this morning while making my rounds at the lagoons I got to see my first set of twins but never seen the mother looks like future coyote snacks. Thats a shame because this area needs all the help it can get as far as deer population goes. Its pretty thin around here.
