So early this year i found out i found out I was an alternate for the Marble Mountain bull elk tag here in California. Obviously this is a fairly coveted tag. All the deadlines came and passed so i wrote it off that was not going to happen. Well two days ago i get a call and for whatever reason someone had to turn in a tag... the season starts next wednesday. I was a little worried about taking a tag I had zero time to prepare for. But i called my boss and i could get the entire two weeks off of work. then I called the other boss and well she said ok too. (that wasnt really ever going to be an issue) so now 5 days before the season starts I am in possession of a California Bull Elk Tag. I have spent the last two days on the phone with biologists, guides, other hunters, etc. I have a few locations pinned down and I am leaving sunday to scout for three days, set up camp and make it happen. And I am mostly going to be by myself. To say i am damn excited would understate it. Sure a little nervous about not having had time to physically get boots on the ground but i have damn good data and a lot of people helping our remotely. I like my odds. whoop whoop... gonna be an adventure.
