I've been a member here for awhile, have very few posts but I'm learning a lot- I've got the itch to hit the mountains and chase everything that inhabits them. This will only grow after my upcoming trip- my wife and I are heading to Montana and Wyoming to visit Glacier National Park and Yellowstone, we leave next Saturday and will be out there for a week. Our main focus is hiking and I'll do a bit of fly-fishing as well, and will be manning the binoculars for awhile to see what I can see everywhere we go.
I'm hoping to make it out west for an OTC bowhunt in 2016 if funds allow- for right now I'm having to bide my time by doing a ton of reading on the various equipment needed, and I plan to begin slowly buying equipment this coming January. If all goes as planned, I'll be taking a 3-4 day backpack trip to the North Georgia mountains for a fly fishing/turkey hunting trip next spring on public land with a buddy- the mountains aren't quite as high, but it's out of the pines and into the hills.
Thanks for the advise, reviews, and experiences posted throughout the site and on the blogs- it has proved to be a wealth of knowledge for someone looking to undertake this endeavor. I also want to thank the guys behind the scenes here on the site, as this really seems friendly and welcoming place to hang out.
