Earlier this year, I drew a cow elk tag and a mule deer tag in southeastern Wyoming. I had planned on doing a combo trip in October but, had some health issues and was unable to make it. With work, family obligations, and the holidays, I had all but given up on my chances to make a trip out west this year. With the kids being out of school and my wife being off work the week after Christmas, I decided to take some vacation time. On December 7th, my wife and I were trying to decide where we were going to go on vacation and she asked my if my tags were still good. I knew the deer tag wasn't but, I had to check the cow elk tag and sure enough, I found that it was good until the 31st. When I told her the tag was still valid, she asked if I could be ready by Christmas day and thus the planning began. We decided not to tell the boys just in case things didn't pan out and surprise them Christmas morning. We started packing and staging things in the man cave in secret. I checked rifle scopes and started practicing. So here I sit on Christmas Eve, the car is packed and gassed up and the boys are still oblivious to our plans. So tomorrow morning, as soon as Santa has come and gone, we are going to let the cat out of the bag, load up in the car, and head for Wyoming. Merry Christmas and stay tuned as I should be able to update each night at the hotel.
