The official 2025 Wyoming elk hunt for Dave N thread.

Trekking poles are here. Now to get some practice time and get used to using them.

Broke out the bike and put in a few miles. Been a long winter. Wasn't feeling bad until I climbed the steps into the house. Ugh. Have to work back into it.
I make sure to have trekking poles if I have about 40lbs or more in the pack. Also if I backpack. My tent uses one for the pole.
 
Big old box of clothes showed up today. Now I'll LOOK like I know what I'm doing! Maybe. Boots are good. Rifle is ready. Lots of ammo. Trekking poles are set to length, ready to try them out. Spotting scope, pack and bino harness being borrowed. Planning to do an oil change in the truck before heading out. Getting restarted on my bike riding and sled dragging now that the weather has changed. I picked up a little winter weight that needs to go. Again. :rolleyes: Not easy at my age! Guess all I really need now is the tag itself!
 
I listed to Randy’s elktalk the other day about mountain tough. There is a spring sale in that right now. It would be a good use of the funds we raise to get on that for the summer. I am going to do it as well.
 
Dave,
Just think back a couple years when in Idaho and we were each packing two 5 gallon buckets of bear bait uphill. I doubt you have any "hills" like that around your place, so fill two buckets full of sand and drive to a town where there is a high rise building (at least 10 stories). You know what to do then, and NO you cannot use the elevator!
