It’s just three daya

[choc dogs]

So. I’ve been taking my lovely wife hunting for several years. She’s drawn a cow tag, and an either sex tag that run concurrently. Been shooting for most of the summer, it’s getting consistent. I drew… nada, nothing, nothing, zip in the first draw here in Idaho, so, why not,donate to the state again, look, a cow muzzloader tag in the same unit. And deer doe black powder is open the same time.

I’ve managed a long weekend with no obligations, threw a bunch of stuff on the garage floor and I’m gonna scout for three days with a frontsuffer in my hand and see if I can figure out where critters are using now, and hopefully will move onto by October.

2 questions, do y’all see anything I missed and,

Failing that, anybody wanna show my wife what a deer or elk looks like on the hoof in late October?

You’re missing the carton of reds that go with the duffle.

Is the kitchen sink under the pile ?

Yeah, 300WM....

Food, TP, Coolers, binos....

I applaud you sir. Your preparations bespeak a laid back and easygoing, devil-may-care attitude. Success is therefore assured.

 

[RealMuddyboots]

All your "possibles" like bullet puller, patch remover if round ball. The stuff that drives you crazy when you need it.

What MZ? .50? .54? Sidelock? Just curious.

Last few years I carry 4-6 loads in vacuum pack to insure completely dry as emergency backup.

It’s just an old Cva inline 50. Classic maxiballs from tc. Decided not to mess with more traditional rifles for this hunt. There’s a box with all the possible shtuff in it, hoping that having it means I don’t need it. I think I’ve got 4 quick loaders I’ll put in a ziplock bag on my bino harness.

Just my experience but I shot a bull with some maxi balls pulled one out of him could have shot it out of the gun again highly unimpressed. I’d highly recommend looking into no excuses later for it

Ahh. TP. It’s in every truck door and every backpack I own.

Better add another roll, dinty moore don’t mess around

Been shooting maxiballs for 30 plus years. I’m sure there are better options, just like there are better hunters than me.

There may be newer options. Doesn't make them better! Your load will floor an elk, how much better does it get?

Thats the first thing I noticed. I got a charcoal smoker with my Marlboro miles back in the day.

As a child, family time was evenings spent watching The Waltons, while peeling off Marlboro miles. And my mom couldn’t understand why I took up smoking.

 

[Tradewind]

@Point Creep will tell you you're missing green beer ymmv

 

[choc dogs]

It’s marginally more organized. And hope springs eternal, I brought the pack frame

I’m more of a homebrew guy, but there will be libations.

 

[Outlaw99]

That Marlboro duffle is badass! Doesn’t matter what else you forgot, that vintage duffle will get you through anything! Good luck

 

[choc dogs]

Ok. So as stated earlier this is a cow/doe hunt. Apparently the marlboro red bag is too powerful cause this is how my day went on the other hand, we had no canned stew to take, so I stopped at the gas station and bought this the beer is a home brew, a modelo clone with a bunch of hops that make it citrusy, not my favorite but it hid the taste of chili Mac so not all bad.
Don’t smoke often, so this seemed a better option than reds.

Hope springs eternal, maybe tomorrow will prove that legal elk aren’t like Bigfoot. Totally made up.

Btw. When I asked what I was missing nobody reminded me I need a civilized glass or silverware.

 

[choc dogs]

Oh. And full moon
