wow..i better start packing.

i went to Harbor Freight and bought a receiver hitch cargo basket. hopefully, i wont need it until the ride home (Dear Lord.....)

funny story about Harbor Freight. i hate that store,but that day..smoking hot cashier. it was like cashier lotto..the other working register was manned by a ..well..a MAN. i won!! i got the young lady. i said \"hello\" and she sarcastically said, \"like i haven\'t heard that before\". so i said..\"well have you heard it like this before?\" i then did the Joey (from Friends) thing..\"well Hellooooo there\" she laughed and opened her drawer and clicked a code..boom 20% discount. with my face..i learned to be funny early (with the ladies)

i am now the proud owner of a $50 cargo basket.

i am so excited. nervous about inclement weather, and freezing my butt and all of our camp water. my loving brother got his hunt interrupted by THE POPE!! yup..that POPE. but my kid brother is still bringing me his pop up camper..and hunting a few days..and coming back for the camper and another few days of hunting. bless him..i hope the POPE high fives him. i love my brother.

my friend just got dumped by his Fiance and left for Tuscon. a quick text and he will join me..for bro-time. i\'m happy he didnt get his spirit crushed by love. it happens.

10 days friends and it is time for my most anticipated hunt. AZ couse deer.!!!

as it stands..i have three \"Grail\" animals.
Couse deer.
Bull elk.
California public land wild hog. (<-----i know..lame)

i\'m really hoping some Pope popyiness rubs off on us brothers and turns the deer dumb. :)
 
I\'m excited for you Cliff! Can\'t wait to hear the report and see some trophy pics.
 
And here I am hearing about Coues Deer, and the Pope, and I\'m thinking:

Where\'s the PHOTO OF THE CHICK?

20% off, too? Dang.
 
Wow. Need to lay off the bow shooting. Sore shoulder from shooting so much.

I\'ll take the break time to gather up my gear.

Hahahaha, Cliff I can\'t tell you how glad I am to hear that! I have been shooting a ton every day since I got my bow and MAN am I sore!! I thought it was just a rookie thing or that there was something wrong with me :lol:
 
No Derek it is not just you. You really should build into it if that makes sense. You can injure your shoulder if you over do it. You are putting strain on parts of it you normally don\'t use. Take a day off and let things rest in the beginning. After you have been shooting for a while it won\'t bother you as much.

:upthumb: :upthumb: Thanks Francis!
 
Gotta get my eyes checked because I swore it said \'she opened her drawers\'!! LOL!!

Cliff, if you still have the concerns with water freezing(may not since you have a pop-up camper), I was going to suggest taking an extra sleeping bag to put over the water jugs after you let them sit out in the sun during the day. Should keep them from freezing overnight.

Best of luck on your hunt!
 
I grabbed an extra ice chest. I\'ll violate my wife\'s rule and buy jugs.

Pop up campers are poor insulator. One year I put my toothpaste in my bag with me. It would freeze solid. I can\'t wake up without minty freshness.

Coolers insulate so....... the keep things warm too. Buy some jugs of water or fill them at home then put them in a cooler. They should keep from freezing. If the water gets too cold warm some up on the stove then pour it back in the jug and place back in the cooler. The warm jug should keep the others from freezing. Good luck.......
