Good for you Gary. I hope you fill both of your tags. I bought my deer, elk and cougar tags today. I thought about getting a bear tag, but I really don't want one.

awesome!!

now add this exercise to your routine. take a log and mount it on a saw horse about 6 inches higher than your crotch. glue sandpaper all over and a hammer nails partially into it..cut the heads off the nails. now step/crawl/straddle over it over and over and over again..

the area we were in..was littered with deadfall. like the Almighty himself had the universe's biggest JENGA game and somebody threw a tantrum and refused to pick up the pieces. it was AWFUL.

(but we got an elk first time out..:))

:lol: no worries on the deadfalls. we had plenty where we hunted in Colorado..... some places it was easier to walk on them then over them. I felt like I was in the circus on a high wire.

dennis, why are you rubbing it in? I already know how much you residents have to pay..... :D I tried that tactic on the wife all ready, didn't work :roll: I really put the screws to her while we in the big horns last week, that didn't work either. I guess I am stuck with paying nonresident prices..... like I said, we will be in your neck of the woods in 3 short weeks!
as far as the wolf tag goes, its more of a novelty. it was cheap enough to say why not. I suppose we should bring a rifle for the just in case.

Idaho sure is johnny on the spot! my tags were waiting for me in the mail today. we were camping this weekend so they could have gotten here on sat. my hunting partner finally got his archery affidavit faxed in and they called him a couple of days later telling him that he was good to go! nice.....
