25.) NEBigAl - 02/25/2014

That's the best one.
27.) crookedeye - 03/02/2014

28.) Ohbuckhunter - 03/02/2014
I'm in for next year
29.) crookedeye - 03/02/2014
we need to find a place cheap..
30.) crookedeye - 03/02/2014
my plain is to get a unit and pack in or maybe a drop camp..i think the find a unit and pack in is the way to go..don't puss out..do some research and see what we need to do..
31.) crookedeye - 03/02/2014
big al already pm about his secret location..so I have some ideas..funny thing is.. the pm self destructed 5 minutes after I read it..so it has to be a good unit..
32.) crookedeye - 03/02/2014
all we'll need is sleeping bag and maybe a tarp..of course a sleeping bag of youre own...5 days of hell...should be fun..i hope it doesn't rain every day...
33.) crookedeye - 03/02/2014
I always see these blow up sleeping mattreses that cost hundreds of dollars...I can go to walmart and buy one of those blowup swimming rafts for like 15 bucks..
34.) crookedeye - 03/02/2014
ive been watching a lot of survivorman...so I can do a lot with a tarp and a bike tire..
35.) crookedeye - 03/02/2014
it'll be funny when I blow up my sleeping mattress and there will be Scooby doo characters on it...
36.) Ohbuckhunter - 03/02/2014
Lol. We could use arm floaters for pillows
37.) crookedeye - 03/02/2014

No need to cry about it. I'll bring a extra floaty for you
43.) Floyd - 03/02/2014
He's all about the cry.

He's tender.
44.) Ventilator - 03/03/2014
You may have to buddy carry floyd out....i dunno tho....could be interesting. he may up his training regimen if OHBH goes.
45.) Floyd - 03/03/2014
Stop trying to draw me out, please.

He does make it hard though. Go back to bulling BULLZ-i.

I can just about hear Dan now......SFUV (Oops, sorry, A little passive aggressive)
46.) Floyd - 03/03/2014
I would go, but.....

[video=youtube_share;RfdTEc8V48o]http://youtu.be/RfdTEc8V48o[/video]
47.) crookedeye - 03/03/2014
I remember watching obh's self filming of his pig hunt I think the blind was a block away from the cabin..and he was breathing awlfully hard..
48.) Ventilator - 03/03/2014
Dave is ramping up his training for this season I hear. He plans to shut off the atv 100yds from the stand vs 25. that's gonna be 4x as much walking for him! Very impressive. :wink

OHBH knows im kidding.:)
49.) crookedeye - 03/03/2014
its best not to rush into a full blown workout either, start slowly and work youre way up..say stop the atv 5 yards further every couple of weeks..then by hunting time you'll be 125 yards from the stand, plus the climb up the ladder.. the cardio will be at an all time high...
50.) Ohbuckhunter - 03/03/2014
Instead of 25 yards parking the quad I'm making all box blinds to be able to pull the atv under the blind. No walking. That way when I leave the stand I can wait till dark to leave. I'm scared of the dark.
51.) Ohbuckhunter - 03/03/2014
I'm going to light beer as well. It has to be better for you
52.) Ohbuckhunter - 03/03/2014
I am going to walk to check the mail instead of riding to the mail box. That's going to be a tuff one to put in place
53.) Ohbuckhunter - 03/03/2014
This year instead of using a zero turn on all my lawns I'm going to use a walk behind on 3 of them.
54.) Ohbuckhunter - 03/03/2014
I'm going to stand up to pee when going to the bathroom. Even in the morning.
55.) crookedeye - 03/03/2014
lol..
56.) Ventilator - 03/03/2014
That is a helluva routine!! better have plenty of advil on hand...you will need it!
57.) Ohbuckhunter - 03/03/2014
I don't wanna over do it and be a overacheiver
58.) Triton Rich - 03/03/2014
[B]Well, as luck would have it, I drew my WY elk tag. I suppose that means I'll need to start doing some exercising myself! [/B]
59.) Ohbuckhunter - 03/03/2014
Rich. My plan will be your best bet. I'm in shape since I started this



ROUND
60.) Triton Rich - 03/03/2014
[B]I like your plan. Except for the light beer, I can't do that![/B]
61.) NEBigAl - 03/04/2014
Just switch to whiskey!
62.) Ventilator - 03/04/2014
congrats Rich. I will be in WY myself this October.
63.) Ventilator - 03/04/2014
As for training. Get a pack with 50lbs and start doing a lot of rucking. That is pretty much all you need to do. :tu:
64.) Deerminator - 03/04/2014
Try

They have stuff for everyone. Young, old, men, women. Even body building competition for geezers.
Diet and nutrition, all the good stuff.
65.) Triton Rich - 03/05/2014
[QUOTE=Ventilator;17482]congrats Rich. I will be in WY myself this October.[/QUOTE]

[B]Thanks Man! Hopefully, we both have some good luck![/B]

[B]Our hunts aren't going to be too awful difficult. Our hikes are somewhat level or light/moderate climbing. One of our morning spots involves driving a few miles on blacktop uphill from the ranch, parking a few hundred yards from the top of a draw and walking down the draw to meet the elk coming up. That's a good one for us! I'm hunting with my Dad who's 72 so we'll save the more intense stuff for when he's in a rocking chair :-). I'll be doing some cardio to help with the altitude and that will prob be it. The more important part will probably be seeing some Doctors to fix my lungs up a bit. My mild asthma seems to be getting a bit less mild. [/B]
66.) Ventilator - 03/05/2014
[QUOTE=Triton Rich;17530][B]Thanks Man! Hopefully, we both have some good luck![/B]
Got that right! Should be awesome. I'm taking my daughter on her first western deer hunt.

which part of wyoming?

if you swing through cheyenne, let me know. goes for ventilator too.
68.) Ventilator - 03/10/2014
Roger that....ill be in Sheridan. Probably fly into Billings and rent a car tho.
69.) crookedeye - 06/29/2014
[QUOTE=Ohbuckhunter;17434]I'm going to light beer as well. It has to be better for you[/QUOTE] before we go I could make up like a dozen ham sandwiches with swiss cheese and maybe some peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches..for breakfast maybe a couple boxes of captain crunch and a box of count chocula..
70.) crookedeye - 06/29/2014
I still dispute this 50 60 lb pack weight...if two people go... granted obh needs his own tent and his space... I still cant comprehend 50 60 lbs of gear..say for a seven day hunt..
71.) crookedeye - 06/29/2014
you figure 20lbs of essentials... food, sleeping .cooking..
72.) Floyd - 06/29/2014
[COLOR="#0000CD"][SIZE=5]You have 20lbs of alcohol and cigars alone.

Not to mention the porno stuff and things for your "Boy Dance Party" out there. [/SIZE][/COLOR]

[video=youtube_share;5MQzc6SQk_E]http://youtu.be/5MQzc6SQk_E[/video]
73.) crookedeye - 06/29/2014
Floyd this is serious stuff...
74.) Floyd - 06/29/2014
Oh sure, I got what your saying. Serious stuff. Don't forget your Viagra. It will help you "dance longer". And help with high attitudes.

er, high altitudes too. :tu:
75.) crookedeye - 06/29/2014
realisticly Floyd how much do you need for a week?lbs wise..break it down..
76.) Floyd - 06/29/2014
Seriously, I heard Viagra help with the high altitude sickness.

Oh by the way, did you ask your doctor if you are healthy enough for "elk hunting"?
77.) crookedeye - 06/29/2014
you can use a rubber for carrying water...god knows the one in my wallet needs some use...
78.) Floyd - 06/29/2014
[QUOTE=crookedeye;21439]realisticly Floyd how much do you need for a week?lbs wise..break it down..[/QUOTE]

You pack just the essentials. All ultra-light stuff. Figure out minimum caloric intake. Cost will go up. You need to find your tipping point, Then decide how much risk you are willing to take.

[QUOTE=Floyd;21440]Seriously, I heard Viagra help with the high altitude sickness.

if I cant climb or run I might as well be dead..

that's a quote from me..
80.) Floyd - 06/29/2014
Take risk. What's the worst that can happen? You become coyote or wolf food? Good news is, if that happen, you'll become known as environmentally friendly. Reduced carbon foot print and the whole shebang.
81.) Floyd - 06/29/2014
I don't think boiling water gets hot enough at high altitude for freeze dried foods and it takes too long. What you think? Maybe I need to let it set a little longer and reheat it.
82.) crookedeye - 06/29/2014
I heard in high altiturd theres a different boiling point..
83.) billy b - 06/29/2014
How high are you gonna be, water boiled good for me @ 9500'?
84.) crookedeye - 06/29/2014
billy i'll be at 1500 ft....that's what the chicks dig..
85.) crookedeye - 06/29/2014
that's a old wise tail boiling water at attitudes..if i'm at 10,000 feet my bacons not going to cook different then if I was at 8,000 feet..
86.) DParker - 06/30/2014
You boil your bacon?
87.) Floyd - 06/30/2014
I bet he burns his own biscuits too.
88.) crookedeye - 06/30/2014
I order a pair of sitka mountain pants.. eventually i'll get a dress coat and tie to go with it..
