Thanksgiving Elk

I write to let every one my schedule for elk hunting at Thanksgiving.  I have a bull tag for November 28 to December 3 in unit 8.  I do plan to hunt.

If either Ben or Isaiah want to go with me on Friday I would plan to go up Friday morning leaving probably at 2 am and returning Friday night.  I understand that both Ben and Isaiah may be leaving on Saturday so it would be just a one day hunt.  If either are planning on hunting longer then I am open to staying as long as they want. However...

I do have a club shoot on Saturday morning that I would like to go to so coming back Friday night works for me.  I would go back up for Saturday afternoon or maybe wait until Sunday morning.  Depends on how tired I am or what I need to do about vehicles.  Probably spend rest of Saturday  getting the Cruiser, trailer and UTV hooked up since I will need it for its hoisting ability when I am hunting alone.  


I would like to practice a bit with those new thumbers.  Dismal, Lil' James and Niobrara should bring their holsters.  I have plenty of guns.  For that matter, I got two more from Cal so the safe is full.  I have plenty of holsters too, but might be short on belts if the gunslingers don't bring their rigs.

camper

I like the idea of the camper, better than motels, however i bet those campgrounds fill up fast. may be hard to find a space unless we could reserve in advance.

Sheep Mountain

If the wilderness area is in 68 we can get to the top of Sheep Mtn, elevation 12,085.  We can drive on a 4 wheel trail to 11,200 ft.  Last 800 feet will be a bit of a hike.  There is a second trail, the middle fork trail of Saugchee Creek goes to 10,060 but then the hike is another 2,000 feet. Just started looking.  The National Interactive Visitor Map looks great for finding roads and trails.  Just started looking on it.  Assuming part of Wilderness is in 68 we can get to it: FR 790 "Big Dirt" goes to within 3/4 mile o boundary.  Goes to about 11,200 feet. Sheep Mtn is  12,085. FR 783 "Middle Fork" goes to 10,000 or so then becomes a 20% hiking trail into the wilderness area. Trail 912 is hiking only 20% grade. FR 600 "Pool table" actually goes into the Wilderness area from the east but probably is south of where we want to be. It to becomes a hiking  trail.
