The official 2025 Wyoming elk hunt for Dave N thread.

Decided to do a lazy day today. Got a couple things done outside and started with the sled dragging. Made it a couple rounds and called it quits. Seems like today was a good day for those damn Asian ladybugs to decide they would swarm my place. They bite and they stink! Fugg it. Ceiling fan running and kicked back watching TV. Try again tomorrow, I need a break. :ROFLMAO:
Wait until you kill an elk and the yellow jackets show up.

Maybe, but I'm pretty much always sleeveless and those buggers crawl everywhere! I'll probably be snug in my Sitka stuff out there and not have to worry about anything but my face. I think. Gotta kill an elk first!

The elk are conspiring with the lady bugs! Now I’ve heard it all! 😂

You’ll get an elk . I’m looking forward to the story
 
8 miles on the bike and no bugs. :ROFLMAO: Would have done 10 but I don't carry a drink and I was getting pretty thirsty. Now I have to go help my dad on a search and rescue mission. He had the brakes on his hot rod worked on and on his way home one of the spinners came off and he can't find the center cover.

Mixing up some of my drinks and getting them in the freezer for the trip. Not much prep left to do now.

This happened to me this hunt! I found out a few years ago the hard way I go into anaphylaxis (full body hives, labored breathing) when I got stung by a wasp so the entire cleaning process on Tuesday was nerve wracking to say the least. Yellowjackets everywhere and nothing to do about it but go quick.

Anyway @Dave N stoked for you for this hunt!!! Good luck and go get em!

why drinks need premixed and frozen b4 a hunt?
 
Double duty. I have my stuff ready to go and I have them serve as the ice to keep my food cold on the drive to camp. Once there I can use them as they thaw for my daily pack drinks.
Sorry I meant what not why. what are your “drinks”. presume some sort of electrolyte laden water?

Gotcha. Yeah, electrolytes and/or vitamin and mineral type stuff. Flavored stuff that keeps me from gulping plain water so fast when thirsty.
 
2 weeks until go-time! Just did a few rounds with the sled, hit the bike a few times a week and crank out 30 push-ups when I think about it. Knees and legs feel good. Felt better overall a year ago. Being sick this spring kicked my butt. I'll do my best to keep on trucking. Beans are out of the field and now I can double check zero and verify POI at yardages before I pack my rifle away. Pretty much done with the prep. Just need to change oil in my truck and bake the cookies and I'll be ready to pack the truck and hit the road. I hope @Wildabeest is picking out a nice bull for me!
 
Sight your rifle in 1” low at 200. That’s about how much the difference the elevation will make for us flatlanders.
He is from the midwest. There is no precise sighting in required. We take our rifle out the week before we need it, toss a paper plate out at 100, shoot er two, tree times tops. Make sure we hit it all times and call er good
