I would love the opportunity but just not sure I can do it this year. If you do this next year as well I'll bet I could do it. Would love to meet some of you tradgangers

Update!
Fellas, the response to my invite has been very exciting! There are lots of youand I don't want to leave you wondering where we are at,... a few of us are going to ge ttogether at trad west expo and compare plans, etc. We will have more info then for sure. But for now, quick answers to some questions...dates usually run most of September with the peak of the rut in the Sawtooth Zone (where I usually am) 15th - 20th. Gear lists will be forthcoming. Carpooling is encouraged for you midwesterners and east coasters! It's a long drive, but murder on the wallet getting your meat and racks back home...Until later,
Semper Fi,
Mike

You ought to list a cell number that guys can call you at during the Expo so you can meet up...? Just a thought.

I'd like to hunt Elk but just can't make it happen this year. Good luck to everyone going.

Seriously I would love to - but have a group hunt planned for colo this year. Maybe next>?

Elk Ninja,

If it's not too late I'd like to ask for a seat at your campfire this year. I've got some family issues that make a trip to Idaho well suited for me as well.

PM sent to both yourself and Brian Krebs.

Mike, where in so-cal are you from? I lived down there for a while....

elk ninja · June 19, 2007, 12:34:00 PM

Any ya'll DEFFINATELY coming? Lots of interest that seemed to fizzle. My plans have changed a lot too... please PM me if you are 100% coming, bought your tickets and tags.

Mike,
Would love to join you next season! As you ahve already responded to my Elk Hunting post, I'm heading to CO in Sept. But, the way you described your hunt is the way I'd like to do it! Do you have success in filling your tag each year?

elk ninja · June 19, 2007, 02:27:00 PM

Not every year, but I think I ma getting better and better every year... more satisfying hunts at least. Too much goes into elk hunting to be successfull every year (with a limited amount of mountain time at least).

Mike, I sent you a pm. Looking for more details on the dates and if tags are still OTC.

My dates are 13th-21st. My plans have changed some, I will be hunting the same unit, but the particular area I mentioned is my #1 backup. I am planning a backcountry hunt now. Backpack/bivouac style. Tags are still OTC. If anyone is interested in coming to Idaho, but can't make my dates, or doesn't want to backpack, there are a couple guys here I can get you in touch with or just point you to some good areas. Would love to meet up with some of you and share a campfire (although it might have to be a virtual kind of campfire as it has been a dry winter and it's the norm to have fire restrictions).

elk ninja · June 19, 2007, 05:16:00 PM

So, if you are coming please let me know your dates. I will get some gear lists together soon for ya'll. Going to be fun.
Mike

I hadn't heard anything more so I thought it had died,so I made other plans ,but if it's available next year I'd come in a heartbeat. Thanks, Ben

paleFace · June 20, 2007, 11:00:00 AM

elk ninja i sent you a pm and i am 99.0% sure i'm coming out west to hunt elk this fall. at the moment Idaho is on top of the list. the dates and what not will be the deciding factor as i have some commitments that i have at the end of September (28-30). will most likely drive from Virginia and might have 1 or 2 Trad Gangers in tow. if anyone is a def and lives not to far off the beaten path from Richmond Va. to Idaho, would be more than glad to pick you up on the way....

Elk ninja,
I sent you a pm

Talondale · June 20, 2007, 02:16:00 PM

Oooooh Paleface, don't tempt me. I'd love to but it just doesn't work for me this year with a new little-one expected 8/31.

Ausable · June 20, 2007, 02:20:00 PM

Elk ninja and Paleface,

You can count me in. I'll be driving from the East Bay area in California.
