OK, back again strong with elk hunting
Ok. Here we go. It's the last day of the initial bow season in Idaho. Actually, it's the last night before the day before the last day of bow season in Idaho. BUT, these folks have been working me so hard, that combined with a four HOUR public meeting, I have met my 80 for the week plus some, so I am gone. I chatted with my boss about that today. She told me, "if you show up tomorrow I will wail on you." Good enough for me!
This morning was hectic! People running around needing this and that, but I got it all accomplished! Plus, since this first season ends at midnight this Saturday, I have a day off, Friday, to pack (not much changed since last time...so no worries), get food, and head out. I have a strong idea of where I'm going but to do so in the daytime tomorrow will help. I looked at a map SLIGHTLY tonight, but we'll see what happens tomorrow. I will get up late. I will go to the store and get some food, then I shall head out. This is leading into a much better chance of camping. NOT getting up at 3:30, NOT driving for two hours, but rather, leaving early in the day to hunt the evening first THEN the next day. PLUS, I shall have that Sunday to recuperate at home. (I plan on going to work ,since no hunting is allowed, but still...I can queue maps.)
The plan? Shit. Drive until I'm pissed of driving. Get up on the border and figure out a camping spot with no people. Then, hunt wherever I feel like. I KNOW elk are everywhere out here, perhaps if I set up camp first with no worries of hunting and plenty of time to spare, I'll be more comfortable. Then, a leisurely hunt in the evening (since I'm on top) then on Saturday a heavy, balls-to-the-wall hunt.
who knows
After THAT, I know I have a weekend to relax before any season begins again. Plus a holiday. So, I shall be spending next weekend in Glacier. Alone for the first time there; ever. And I shall do some thinking, remembering, and crying.
With that, wish me well!

In Glacier - think, remember, cry....and ponder not only what an incredibly special place Glacier is, but how many more times we'll be back.
Good luck with the hunt.... eat some PBJ for me, and some trail mix and other good ol' American food, would ya? I will eat some potatoes for you.
