You got that right, Mike. I tried shooting golf once upon a time. Never could cook 'em up tender enough to eat, though, LOL!

Just heard they have begun to take caribou in Deception Bay..the camp that is farthest north and east of our camp...Camp Kat.

If you look at the map you will see that our camp is the farthest West of all the camps, and is about 100 miles, maybe a little less, from Deception Bay.

Caribou, when moving, easily cover more than 100 miles a week in their trek...so hopefully........

Ray I hope your prediction is right on !

Ray Hammond · August 22, 2007, 05:21:00 PM

its a full two weeks till the end of our hunt..hopefully if they aren't there at the beginning they will get there before we leave!

That's why I said we should NOT plan on eating 'bou...

Guy's, there is an old saying that goes like this. No expectations = No disappointments. That is the best I can do when it comes to hunting. I am however expecting to have a GREAT time with you all on this hunt. If you are expecting to get a bou, and you do then you have met your expectations. If you don't then there will be disappointment. The only thing I can advise everyone on, is to go on this hunt expecting to have a wonderful time, meet new folks and learn a heck of alot from each other. If you do that then I can promise you that you will enjoy your trip.

Couldn't have been said any better CJP.

Ok gang, I just got off of the phone with Gordie aka Bearman and he said that the caribou are headed to Minto. He said Noah that lives in one of the northern villages had to fly out for something in his helicopter and saw a very substantial size herd heading to Minto. Gordie also stated that time is on our side and with his guess he thinks we are going to have a good time. One thing he did state over and over was bring the bug dope and 2 head nets. They have never had a spring up there like they are having and the bugs are bad. He did say Boney told him that it is cooling off to sround 40 with the wind chill factor but the bugs are there. So a must take is bug dope, head nets and duct tape and gloves that you can wear when you shoot.

So what kind of bug dope is everyone taking?I hate swating bugs when I hunt.I may just wait until next year and see if there any better.NOOOOT!!!

Ray Hammond · August 23, 2007, 02:33:00 PM

take a thermacell, Hill Boy..with lots of cannisters and strips. Also, a product like Ben's or Muskol with deet. I don't like bug dope..so gloves with bug juice on the, and taping up my cuffs and glove ends and a full headnet is what I am going to try with the thermacell.

CJ Pearson · August 23, 2007, 05:31:00 PM

thermacell bug dope and garlic... keeps the bugs, and the northern vampires away

hill boy · August 23, 2007, 06:37:00 PM

After Brad's confession I think garlic is a great idea.Lot's of garlic on that pasta Brad. :cool: :cool:

hill boy · August 23, 2007, 08:59:00 PM

Boy!Sure did get quiet here lately.Must be the calm before the storm.Guy's dont forget lip balm vasolin,asprin,cold med.small light beside your bed.and house shoe's for emptying the mid night bladder, and extra batteries.If anyone has any weight room left I have a light cordless sawzaw that make cutting horns off and quartering a breeze.Should I bring it?

Danny Rowan · August 23, 2007, 11:50:00 PM

hill boy · August 24, 2007, 08:31:00 AM

I see Danny.Can't think of a better place to be before a big hunt.3 day's until blast off.

CJ Pearson · August 24, 2007, 10:40:00 AM

is everyone ready???

BradLantz · August 24, 2007, 06:49:00 PM

quit espresso this morning ...... I might not start again when I get back. I swear my head hurt bad enough to make me puke. I took 2 asprin and laid down 45 min agao - FINALLY got relief.

CJ Pearson · August 24, 2007, 07:51:00 PM

Brad, my man. I can really relate to you concerning this. I have cut down from 15 cups of coffee a day to one or two. Hope to never get back to drinking that much again.
Kind of like my uncle. He quit smoking once and said that he didn't cough worth a darn so he started back.
I will be bringing my coffee even if it is instant yuk!

CJ Pearson · August 24, 2007, 07:54:00 PM

Oh yea did I mention I got a call from Sandy Horne today??? Wonder what that means?? For some unexplained reason on this call I could justify paying for an overnight shipment with a Saturday delivery.

hill boy · August 24, 2007, 08:01:00 PM

Yes Chuck,Were listening???

hill boy · August 24, 2007, 09:18:00 PM
