[QUOTE="crowhorse67, post: 673239, member: 50713"] Give me a pm anytime. I'm not sure what map your using, I'm pretty familiar with the area you're looking at. Just keep in mind that maps and Google do not do justice to the full experience you are about to recieve. :cool: You can make good time on established pack trails, (there is a reason they are where they are and have been so for years). When you leave the trails your speed over ground will slow drastically, keep this in mind. What looks like 1 or 2 miles of decent terrain on a map is not so easy to hike at 10,000ft with a pack on. The SatPhone is smart, we do the same thing to check in at home. To quote what a retired outfitter from the "old days" told me 25 years ago - "elk are where you find 'em". Meaning that you can see elk from in sight of a road, to 12,000ft 20 miles from a road. You decide what you want your hunting "experience" to consist of. You seem to have a pretty good grasp of what it will take for this. Whether you get an elk or not you will have an experience that most hunters only dream about. For me, nothing beats sunset before season opens. Horses hobbled and grazing, tent squared away, and eating ribeyes and shrimp grilled over coals and hearing a bull bugling.......... except looking at him in the crosshairs the next mornin'gun) [/QUOTE]
