Five hours.....

......until I leave for my third attempt to get a Colorado elk. Very Happy

I have eighteen hours of driving & flying to look forward to tomorrow, including eight hours of transatlantic boredom.

I haven't put a damn thing into the suitcase yet & only just found my rangefinder.
It's another six days till the hunt begins, so I guess I'll have some semblance of organisation by then.
I only hope this chest infection has cleared up by then, coz I live at sea level & our camp is at 9,000'

Thankee

Even if I don't fill my tag, I know the company is going to be great & the break from "reality" needed.

As Bushy said Mike....good hunting mate.

If'n ya don't git ya elk...at least you will have had a break away from Pomgolia...that has to be a bonus in its own right mate. Enjoy the time with your hunting buddies and consume copious amounts of alcohol as you sit around the fire remembering the big ones that got away.

Cheers, Vince

Oh yeh...And welcome back to America. Land of the broke, but free. Just think...You get to handle firearms without "Big Parliament" lookin' over yer shoulder (or do you call them "Big Brother too)...ENJOY

It isn't that bad. Just find yourself a distraction on the plane. Laughing
