Hello everyone,
Well September has arrived once again and very soon I will be headed off to our annual elk hunt. My buddy and I have been doing this hunt since 1994, so this year is the 25th. Throughout the years others have joined, and faded away, with this years attendance is looking like five (ourselves, his uncle, his son and my son-in-law).
The camp usually consists of wall tent set-ups, and will again this year, however I will be bringing my RV due to my active chemo timing in hopes of making things a little easier.
We are hunting the elk in the deep river valleys of the Peace River area where steep and thick is very common. These are not easy hunts. Many years we have left empty handed, but usually manage at least one elk.
I am the only person who hunts with traditional muzzleloaders to ever attend, and this year am bringing my GPH .50 percussion with 370gr home cast Maxiballs, and am quite excited. I have allotted 2 weeks for this hunt, and head out Sept 16th (our season opens the 17th).
I am hoping to continue this thread much like a journal entry each night of my own day at the camp. Each days experience, sights, sounds smells, etc. and hopefully some may find it enjoyable. With luck I will also be able to speak of success!
Take care.
