When is everyone leaving?

I quess that I am not the only one going to be heading off to CO for the opener on the 30th, so my question is when is everyone leaving and what are your travel plans.We will leave on the 27th early and stop and Cabela's in KC, then eat some BBQ at Aurthur Bryants, make it to Limon by 10:30 p.m. Then to Canon City by 12:30 stay the night. Be on the mountain by 12:30 the next day to scout and set up camp. Can't wait!!!!!!!!!

Getting antelope blinds ready for tuesday to put out. Then in sept will have truck ready and packed and when I get a call to head to northern Idaho when the elk are going crazy will jump in truck and head 10 hrs north. Hunting with a friend this year and he is not sure what time of the month will be good so when the elk liven up he will let me know and I will head up there. Will be up there for 10 days. Cant wait for that. WOOHOO....

Then my wife drew a awesome bull tag and her hunt opens on Oct 1 to the 30. Will take 10 days there with her. Got her rifle redone with a new stock scope and a trigger job and she is ready for them elk. I put in for that tag for 7 yrs and the first year I do not put in for it and put her in she draws it.

The Hiker family has a few hunts planned this year. Starting in early September with my daughters & I on a WY antelope hunt, then MZ wapiti hunt with a good friend in CO. A group of us are headed up for Colorado deer 2nd season. My older son and I leave for NM around Thanksgiving for a youth deer hunt. Then Chris & I plan on hunting Kansas deer. Should be a great time amd I'm looking forward to it.
I hope all of you have some great hunts. :thumb

Oct. 22 - Get up, shower, eat, get on my bicycle, pedal across the road, ditch my bike and head up to where I'll access (depending on wind) the canyon I'm hunting. :-$

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you wingmaster36. The economy has really put a crunch on everything fun I have planned also. I had to miss the Cheyenne rodeo this year because I couldn't justify the cost of gas when I have two out of state hunts planned also. Things have to turn around for the better soon.

We usually get into Canon City about 12:30 and then leave about 6:00 in the morning. We always eat at the local Mcdonalds before we head on down the road for our final leg of our trip.

Good Luck to you and your son. Make sure he enjoys his hunt even if he doesn't get anything. You will want to keep his interest in the sport. Kids read all the magazines and think that if they don't come home with a 350 bull that they did something wrong. Silvertip I will be easy to spot. I will be the one that looks like he hasn't slept in two weeks because of the anticipation, have a smile so big on my face that Mike Tyson couldn't knock off, and will be holding my side from laughing so much and stupid things that were said and done at past hunts.

Well, I went to a trap shoot last weekend at the Remington plant and placed 2nd. The cool thing is I won a Winchester 70 super shadow in 7mm wsm that I have sold for $500.00. Another lick like that and I'll be in unit 444 come Oct 18th! One more miracle please.

Good Luck to all you guys that are getting there the middle of Sept. I hope you have as much fun and success as I did. You can't alway measure how well you did by the amount of meat you take home either. The experience of being there is priceless!!!!!!!!
