Tis the season
Believe it or not, October 10th is just around the corner! Consequently, the seasonal migration of campers, ATVs, pickups, and rednecks is beginning to occur. The grocery stores have a mix of people in them not seen at any other time of year; middle-aged men pushing the same cart, talking over foodstuff, and looking very intent. The interstate is choked with old and new pickups loaded to capacity and dragging entirely too much stuff behind them.
And yours truly is about to be a part of it all.
Luckily I was able to get the last-minute work done at the office and was able to take off early today. Why is it that people load you up with work when they learn you're going to be gone for a single short week? I guess they all just assume I'm always going to be around. AND, the folks that needed this information immediately (by today) didn't even show up for work today! WTF?! Makes my eye twitch....seriously, my eye has been twitching since yesterday.
I have a lot to do today. Need to make a grocery store run and then pack everything up so it's ready to go bright and squirrely tomorrow. Unfortunately I cannot pack the truck as our parking situation isn't very secure, so I need to stage everything in the garage so all I have to do is toss it in tomorrow morning.
Butch and I are headed to the same spot we've been hunting for the past three years. We'll be up there for about 9 days (coming out on the 18th), hopefully chasing the elusive wapiti around. I say hopefully because last year they were simply NOT THERE...despite how much I walked and looked for them. But it was about two degrees the whole time, so maybe that had something to do with it.
So, cross your fingers and hopefully I'll have an uplifting post in a couple weeks.
And, for the sake of safety...our "no-tellem camp" is located at the base of Whitetail peak:
Lat: 48.0247 Long: -116.1416
It's a main road up there, so it's not like we're out in the boonies. But still.
Wish me luck and pray for less rain than they're predicting for the weekend!

Good luck man! Although that twitching eye might make it hard to aim. Better get control of that.
