Well, my desk is somewhat cleaned off at the office, took the wife to dinner every night since returning from Nevada, sent the son off to college yesterday, and the truck and trailer are packed and ready to go. Time to "Get the Show on the Road."
Idaho Bugler and I will be in New Mexico late tomorrow night, or early Friday morning. We have archery tags for our third choice unit. Not real worried about what unit, as it is New Mexico, and any unit is a possibility for finding a lunker.
Since I have been through this location before, I know there is some cell service on the high knobs, so I am hoping we can provide daily updates with the new OYOA mobile office system.
Who knows what we will find, but I am sure it will be fun. Looking forward to Spitz coming up for a couple days to join along and spot "Big Hank" for us.
Last year, while in New Mexico, four of us hid behind one Moo Cow to get amazingly close to antelope. This year, we will try tandem pairs of cows, Bessy and Belle, to see just how close we can get. For me, and the way I shoot, I am thinking we need to get within ten yards. Bugler is probably good for five times that distance.
Looks like the August monsoon season has started, and the forecast is for afternoon and evening thunderstorms every day. That much daily rain puts the kibosh on a good waterhole strategy, which is OK. As effective as sitting water can be, I just don't have the patience to sit that long, or the radiator to stay cool.
Looking forward to sending pictures of a good time.
