We leave for our muzz hunt tomorrow morning and today has been coined “The Longest Day”, will it be?  It appears to be quite a busy day with lots of last minute stuff that needs to be done.  And so, let me start your day with the report from our Forward Observers.

Tracker and Bones headed off and placed their camp in the area where the rest of us will be crowding around them.  They spent Friday and Saturday nights.  Some of you have heard the report from Bones about the number of yellow jackets in the area.  We are used to them and they are gathering for their annual attack on the Pasole.

Her report was very encouraging as was the one I posted about yesterday via the text message I received the night before (Thanks Slicker and the Misses for that text!).

Some of you received her email with the pictures attached, but for those of you who didn’t that is why I am posting her report up here.

She and Tracker saw a “very good buck” according to Tracker when they were on one of their treks.  No pictures were taken, but for Tracker to say it was a good buck, then you know it was at least a 4 point.

The rest of them were a bit smaller as you will see in the following pictures.

A buck for Dry Dog

And so, there you have the report from the Forward Observers.  These three bucks escaped the bow hunters and are now waiting for the Willow Creek Free Trappers to descend down upon their turf and package them up for the ride back to home!  RUN BAMBI RUN!
