Justin, a marathon runner would be handy to have in camp. You could just run around a small herd and drive them past  the hunters shooting lane.  L.O.L.       Kennrth
Im all over that.

I am dead beat from working and trying to get all my work done so we can get gone on this trip. Makes me hesitant to shoot any thing right away and have to go back to work packing meat. I guessPat will probably mess that up and shoot a big one first morning. Well that will be ok, he can have camp chores. Just funning, Pat I hope you get the biggest one on the mountain.   Kenneth

I'll take the first one that gives me an opportunity.  ;D
  Sent my pack to you today Kenneth. Should be at your house Monday or Tuesday.  It weighs in at just under 40#.  Bows and arrows going out tomorrow morning so they should be a day or 2 behind the pack.
  I'll be dead tired when I get in to Durango. Will be getting up at 3:30am our time(1:30am your time) to catch a 5:30am flight and get to Durango a little before noon your time. Most of that time sitting on a plane or in the terminal(2 layovers). Don't know if I can hike in that day. We both might need the rest of that day to just chill and get stuff together.  We can make that call when the time comes. Two weeks from Today!!!!!  8)

You too Brock.
  We'll be between 9000' and 10000'. Kenneth and his wife went in last weekend and found lots of fresh sign and a small heard. I think they were going back in this eekend too to finish up the horseback packing.

Pat, while you are in Durango, go to Denny's and have a cup of coffee and say hi James Cooper. My brother in law owns Denny's and his son is a manager. Both are named James.  ;)

Pat is the Irene going to mess you up at all? I sure hope not.  Best of luck to you both.

Brock, it's still dry up here. Might get some afternoon T-storms Wednesday and Thursday hope so. It's like walking on popcorn.

You to Brock.  What part of the North?  Don't forget the top side of good size branches works well on the Juniper

Pat sure hope that nasty storm alters it's coarse for you all.
