I have been reluctant to write anything about so far..... the trip was awesome in so many ways! but I left with a pain in my stomach that has been slow to heal.... and hasn\'t totally yet.
I will have to write this in segments, as it will be long, if I can write it well enough, and to add the pics.
I would like to preface with, this was to be my year! I was able to get into elk last year, my first year in Idaho as it was a new spot for me. and I was able to arrow a real nice 6x6...... which I could not find.......
I upped my training and was able to lose an additional 10 pounds, compared to the last 2 seasons. I upped my shooting and was really confident there. I poured over my mistakes from last year and had a solid game plan, with plans b,c,d,e...... I made a point to learn more about calling. essentially I upped just about everything! and we were to hunt the rut. but my ace in the hole was my new partners!!!!
needless to say, my expectations were set very high.
ultimately, I think that was my downfall....
