We head out for New Mexico. I can only hope the fall weather cooperates and we're finished with harvest on a normal schedule. Five years ago, we were still cutting soybeans in mid-November.
I'm taking another 'elk virgin' this year. He's not seen a wild elk in his life--same scenario as my Cousin in 2018. I think it's fun just watching the new guys on their first elk. This year's hunt is almost a month earlier than the past hunts so there may be some bugling still going on. I do have an ulterior motive--it's nice to have these younger guys in the group so I don't have to drive and they can afford to have newer pickups than mine.
