Final prep done

Here's the reeds I'll carry as primary this year after trying several. I'll have another set in my pack in case I lose this set. My mouths tired from all the lip bawling, cow talking, bulging, and grunting. The broadhead I'll primarily use are on the right, magnus stinger 2 blade. I will carry 2 of the trusty Thunderheads on the left though. Now, just waiting on Monday since I work sat/sun.

After viewing that photo on here, I had to go inspect my arrows. I thought that was wear mark's it's actually the light hitting in the carbon

Good luck

What is that, an aluminum dome on those calls?

Good luck send us pics from your trip!

Yea, its the Phelps Amp line. They good! The orange is a great soft cow/ young bull reed. Really easy to use too

will do. Right now the Timberlands are shut down due to fire danger. Luckily, I have some private chunks I can hunt. The only drawback is its pretty heavily timbered, and thick. If I get a shot in there it's going to be threading the needle or Point Blank Range.

Packs ready as well. My 2 on the wall. Frame ready with game bags and cleaning supplies and my hunting pack. The other two are in case I kill one and can find someone to help pack the meat. We'll see I'm kind of being a little selective this year on what I shoot

Looks like fun, be safe and enjoy your trip.

It'll be fun, just hoping the Timberlands open up so I got more range. I'm actually not making a trip I actually live here right in the middle of these Roosevelt's. So I'll chase them every day I don't work

Have fun and good luck.

Be safe send us pics of your hunts!
Most of us will never see or hunt that
part of the world!

Will do. I'll actually get better pictures if they open up the Timber Company land. I like the elk hunting so much I told my wife that if we move back to Alabama, I won't be joining a hunting club I'll be coming up here to elk hunt every year

Kodiak how do you like that Tenzing backpack? What size is it?

Pretty sure it's the 2220. I've got no complaints carries my bow and all my gear plus it has a place for a water bladder. Elk season here is a month-long than I usually hunt 15 to 20 plus days pretty hard and nothing's broken yet. If I was to guess those packs are on our backs probably 8 to 10 hours a day

Get em Kodiak. Can't wait to read your stories.

The stories may be limited this year. The Timberlands are shut down due to fire danger and we expect zero rain in the next 10 days. I have access to some private property one as one of our farm Fields I'm the only one that can hunt it, the Timber on the other side of a small Creek anyway. The problem is the creek is tidal it goes from knee-deep to chest-deep. The other problem is we have two high tides and two low tides daily so it makes getting back and forth very difficult. That field is just been leveled and planted in chicory this year, it's lush green and the elk love it. I just left there and counted 71 elk. Two decent Five Points and three or four rag horns. So maybe it'll get a little interesting but it'll be hard to fool that many elk

The conditions you encounter makes you have to plan
in ways we don't have to consider ,,good stories already!
Hope you catch the tide right.

That's true. I have like plan A through f. There's actually a lot of state land here but, with a Timber Company land closed that many more hunters will be on the state land. I'm hoping that the little private Parcels I got permission to hunt that a lot of trespassers don't go in. People around here tend to think they can hunt when they want and where they want.

Good luck kodiak and stay safe
