Well, today finally arrived!  What’s so special about today?  It’s the planning meeting day, for Dry Dogs Dream hunt!  A very special day!

With every extended hunt there needs to be a planning meeting and of course with that comes the normal amount of B.S.’n which is the most fun of any meeting.  This day will also make the fence line folks fall one side or the other.  Goin or not goin!

One thing for sure, it would take quite a large problem or illness to keep me from going.  I already have a large portion of the things I need for the  hunt packed and the trailer is almost in ready to go fashion.  The number of folks sleeping in my trailer has already been decided as well.

Last weeks storm and todays storm have hit the Jackson Hole area of Wyoming pretty good.  That means the Wind River Range also got a goodly amount of snow and the deer are beginning their migration to winter ranges.  Dry Dogs Dream Hunt coincides with one of these winter ranges.  The hunt actually starts next Saturday, Nov. 19th, but Dry Dog’s work schedule and personal thinking has him geared up to hunt the last half of the hunt.  We won’t be taking the camp up until the day after Thanksgiving, Nov. 25th.  The big old big bucks should have made the trip into the area by that time.

Until then, however, it’s prepare for the worst of weather conditions, pray for not as bad of conditions as last year and get ready for some wonderful photography opportunities of some of the largest mule deer bucks found in the state.

The meeting went well, with the Dry Dog, of all people, late!  I guess he wanted to have all eyes on him when he entered!

We have two trailers going up for the hunt and it should be a real fun time!  A total of 14 people in attendance.  My dream is for Dry Dog to shoot a 5X5 (or more), 28 plus inch wide, behemoth, with 4 inch long eye guards!  Wouldn’t that be a kick in the __ts!?
