nemo's hunting trip

[nemo]

I'm going to Colorado to hunt elk in October. So far, I've got most of the essentials:
- rifle (300 WSM )
- revolver (Taurus .45)
- comms (Cobra 12 mile setup with nifty features like vibrate alert and channel security)
- boots (1000 gram Rockies)
- most of the other essentials (pack, clothes, tp...)

I think I've just about got Irish convinced that I absolutely NEED a Rokon TrailBreaker . After reading the specs, I'm amazed I've managed to survive this long without it. Does anyone have any experience with these things?

Also, does anyone have any words of advice before I wander off into the wilderness (GMU 80 and 81 here )?

Thanks

blah blah trailbreaker blah. that's all i've heard for weeks now. of course, it didn't help that i said he could get one if it could mow the lawn. and yep, you guessed it... it CAN. darn my big mouth!!

Yeah.
Don't get eaten by a bear.
And if you know what's good for you, you better come home with a freezer full of elk!!

Seriously, I really hope you enjoy your trip. I know that I'll enjoy myself while you're away, since I'll be here with the kids...

___How's the hunt preperation goin' Nemo? Guns sighted in at a range yet? Racks all installed on the Traibreaker? When you're moving through brush & not trying to sneak up on an Elk, carry a small bell on your clothing or walking stick to forewarn the bears!

I have some advice.... don't rent an explorer and then drive out into the wilderness to eat some chicken

...and don't forget the ammo The only advice I have is don't wear cologne or bathe with strong soap! And bring us pictures!

Remember to pee before you start, always work your way upwind not down, wear blaze orange to keep you safe. Moderate your water intake - not too much and not too little. Oh, and when dragging an elk, pull the end with the handles.

Ofcourse, and don't forget the Whitecloud toilet tissue, the underbrush can give you an awful rash..........................Ha,ha,ha,ha

Well, I dropped him off at the airport today. He just called me from Chicago. He's now on his way to New Mexico, then driving fromt here to Colorado. How much fun do you think we had checking his hunting rifle and handgun through TSA? Eegads!!

So please keep us in mind this week, as I'm home alone with the babies, preparing for our vacation to Virginia Beach. Nemo will meet us there next Thursday for the last few days of our trip.

Will somebody please suggest some good chick flicks? I just know this is gonna be one very Lonnnnnnnnnng sleepless week~!
