Good luck! Hoping to see pictures of a whopper soon!

How you liking that Orion cooler BTW? Did you spill on it or is that the way they molded it?

It's molded into the cooler. They have several color schemes. The cooler is awesome!
 
We are hard at it this morning. Tanya's not a fan of the 20 degree wake up:) but she was the first one up!

Day 2, morning-It was balmy 26 degrees when we left camp today. We are glassing a hillside, and I'm all cozied up in my Kifaru doobie and the Slumberjack thermal cloak. Hey, I'm coldblooded, don't be judgy. We saw a herd of elk go into a mahogany patch shaped like a piece of pizza. Mmmmm pizza...and are waiting for them to come out🏻
 
I'm not in N. Idaho or NW Montana any more Toto. This place is like alien landscape to me. You can see forever, it's overwhelming sometimes. We are seeing lots of elk, but no shooters. We set up on a herd right before dark, but the bull was not what we hoped(small six) so T-Bunns passed.

I am also allergic to sagebrush, so my eyes swell up from glassing. Starting to look like Rocky:)
 
Being allergic to sagebrush when hunting S. Idaho is almost as bad as being allergic to gunpowder. Send us a pic!
 
Ryan looks like Yoda with his eyes swelled up from Sage brush ! I half laughed at him but it looks like it really sucks ! I'm hope the meds help this trip. He's got it bad !

It's always fun to bust someone's chops, but that swollen, itchy eye thing sucks. Claritin etc can help, but there are eyedrops that really do a better job. I'm at work. I'll try to find out from my wife exactly which eyedrops they are.
 
He's fine! Don't caudle him. He just needs to be #metallystrong. Just kidding, he's doing better with anti-histamines and steroid cream. Ps-I don't beat him!...much.

007 has been our rock this season, he is a friendly face that pops up when we are feeling discouraged. I see him as a good luck charm. I'm hoping that good luck comes this evening. Last night, I have suspicions the elk were partying it up in the full moon and were sleeping it off this am...
