Oh Baby!  Day time highs are dropping (finally) even though they are still around the 80 degree mark, it still feels nice…AND….we all know what that means! Big Game Hunting season is just around the corner.

My head is almost totally wrapped around the San Juan Elk hunt, but I’m still working on the muzz hunt…A reminder to you who are close by, the annual meeting to plan the hunt is this Sunday at my place!  Who is excited is ME!

This mornings workout was a 40 minute one with my boots on!  Incline went as high as 8% and speed up to 7 mph.  It was a tough one but worth it!  Then I added another 10 pushups to my stretch…so, I’m at 30 pushups in 3 sets of 10, a 5 minute stretch after the 40 minutes on the treadmill!  I’m not worrying about weight loss, mostly a toughening of my legs!  If Sam is right, I’ll have to go into the deep and nasty to get my elk!  Whatever it takes, right?  This is my one and only chance I figure!

So, on the muzz hunt, don’t be surprised if I take a hike up one of the steep canyon hills while you guys are cooking your dogs on the side of the road!  It’s just a part of my workout!  A quick hike with a pigs foot tucked in my cheek, it just doesn’t get much better than that!  Just don’t forget to save me a cold drink for when I get back!

In addition to my own hunt, I’m attempting to help a fellow hunter find out some info about his hunt….same dates as mine…only he is on the Paunsaugunt, another famous place that holds bunches of HUGH deer and elk!  He is like me only I’m not so sure he is studying the area.  So if I can find out a few hiddy holes for him it will give his hunt a bit of an edge toward success.

On another note, Crock came by last night with 4 like new tires for the toy hauling trailer and today I’ll try and get them mounted and on the trailer.  That will be a job for Rattler if he is not already on his hunts.  When Rattler goes hunting he is usually gone for over a month!

Life is good and times are super!
