Went for an early morning hike with my two boys who are elk hunting this year too. We did about 5 total miles and gained and lost almost 2000 feet in elevation.

Im enjoying a quiet cool morning flinging arrows before the heat of the day

Finished a project that should help with the goodwill department with my wife. I need as much as I can get if I’m going to leave her with a two and a four year old for 10 days in October.

Took some "new-to-me" optics / tripod finds from ebay for a test drive last night at the golf course next door.



Gophers: "You guys looking for the comet?"
Me: "Umm, there's a comet??"
Gophers: "Then what ARE you doing?"
Me: "Testing optics for a hunt this fall."
Gophers: "Oh...that's WAY cooler."

We did actually find the comet too...

...picked up the phone and asked if the success rate was 100%.

Applied for about 8 elk hunts. Various draw success rates ranged between .11% and .26%.

Sounds like my NM strategy for elk and deer.

Got my knives out of the safe and touched them up. I am not a great knife sharpener but I get by. I haven't tried the ones that you change the blades on.
I still carry really old Schrades and a really old Case.

Shot 10 arrows and worked on holding steady for as long as I could. Not so good today. Some days are like that.

 

[geetar]

I drank three (3) beers for lunch.

One must stay hydrated in July.

Worked later than usual yesterday and will do the same today. Kinda helps offset all the time I take off in the fall.

Just got voluntold to work another week overseas, and less time off. Hoping I still get time off this September...

Went to my first Physical therapy appointment to try and get my knee back to working right. Turns out it's a bum ankle causing the knee problem. Who'd a thunk it?

 

[Big Bore]

6.2 mile hike with 25 lb pack. Averaged 14:59 pace. My furthest and fastest, yet. Not much elevation change where I live, but the heat and humidity are disturbingly high right now.

Nicked my bow string with a broadhead this morning. Fortunately I should be able to get a new one by mid August...

My legs are sore today. The army corps of engineers is constantly dredging the Mississippi in spots to maintain a 9’ navigation Channel. When they dredge they pile the sand about 100’ high. Yesterday I did sprints to the top and back down. 6 was all the more I could bring myself to do.

Started on my packing list. I will have to do a bit of finagling to fit the kitchen sink into the old SUV.
