OK, the muzz deer hunt is well behind us now and it’s time to get serious about the next hunt on the docket!  San Juan Elk!

I was off my work out routine until this week and it sure doesn’t take long to lose what you worked on.  I did the mild workout on day one and when I got to the 30 pushups…well, numbers 26 through 30 took some doing!  The next day it was the hardest workout…the one that has me running at a speed of 7 mph and climbing a hill of 10%…I sure could feel it in my calves after that.

Back on the computer it’s once again time to scan over the satellite images of Google Earth to become more familiar with the country and the roads and trails weaving in and out of the elk hunting terrain!

Today, Dennis is coming over to discuss more about the hunt.  I’m hoping he gives me some pointers as to where he thinks we should set up camp.  I’d like to look that over on Google as well and become familiar with atv trails etc. in and around that spot.

It might seem premature to be as excited as I am about this hunt, but I am thinking it is going to be my best and probably only chance to shoot a bull elk and that is why I have a tough time sleeping….there is always a thought in my head about that big old 7 or 8 year old bull toting a head dress of 6 points on each side….

Always dream’in!
