Just relax and enjoy it! I dislocated my left hip three weeks ago and leave next Monday for New Mexico. I've had to work my butt off for the previous 6 months, so little time for exercise, compound that with a bum hip and I could easily get down. Once you cross those Rockies, gaze in to those...
Man that is one heck of an achievement for a second straight year. Also, that white stuff you are kneeling in..... it is still in the upper 90's here in Florida.
Man that was an awesome read! As someone whose best friend and hunting partner is his wife, I will show this to her tonight. She wore out the boot leather with me on our first ever elk trip last year in the mountains of Colorado and we are headed to New Mexico is 4 weeks for a cow elk hunt...

I know for me and my family and the style of hunting that we do, the outdoor channels just produce polished turds with nothing more than a continuous advertisement. We deer hunt here in the southeast and there are no 130" monsters behind ever tree or standing corn row. We like real people, doing...
That is beyond awesome. I just had a weekend with my three granddaughters at our deer camp in the low country of South Carolina. Loved every minutes of it especially the 11 year old plinking with the 22!
That is awesome. As someone who went on their first elk hunt last year, I know the preparation and anticipation. I didn't set my goals to actually harvest anything but we were prepared in case we did. You pulled it off solo and my hats off to you!
Well, I've got a great wife and this rifle is going to be given to our son after all of the upgrades are completed. It is the first gun he killed a deer with and that is the only sentimental value I have to it. The trigger and stock have set me back about $300 so far on a 25 year old rifle. I...
