It was a great hunt ... We packed a lot of adventure into a single day.

Well, here we go ... should be a good trip. Too short, for sure. But it only took 1 day last year.

Can I get that lucky again? We\'ll see.

I guess you can get that lucky again.... or maybe you\'re just good!

You hunt a new area twice, one day each time, and shoot two elk.

Yeah, not getting a lot of scouting done (which was the plan last year and this) .... instead, just packing!

Not bad ... I think pretty good, really, for 49. A pack that holds weight well makes a great difference, eh Brad?

Im sore somewhat today

The first trip out I packed a front quarter lashed to my small daypack with no waist belt. OUCH!

The second trip I used my Kelty Cache Hauler which was awesome.
But having a 80lb pack on and navigating those deadfalls were the killer

There were times we walked on downed trees for 30-40 ft and some of the ones we crawled over were waist high.

Not sure how anyone can train for that kind of workout!

Love it! Great job guys!

deadfall is the worst. man i hate that stuff

Way to go John and Brad! :clap:

I am back from our trip. I\'ll be posting the story as I get a chance.

I don\'t think I congratulated John and Brad other that between Brad and I on InReach
so congratulations John for a freezer full of meat and to Brad for being with John when
he killed his bull... :clap: :upthumb: :clap: :upthumb:
