Well I know the camper I had planned on taking is now gone. I had a small pop up, I brought it into my shop to fix a bad cable after sitting for over a year and the top had rotted out. I could have fixed it but put it onto CL and it was gone in about 2 hours! So now I will be looking for another one.

Cleric you can put me down for a strong maybe, depending on work. I should know for sure sometime in June.
As far as charging, I have a few of those little battery packs that they give away everywhere nowadays. If you are smart about shutting off cell service when you are in the mountains (you won't have any reception anyhow), you can easily get a couple of days from one charge.

The no service doesnt worry me about battery life, the using my phone as a display for my spotting scope so I dont have to have my eye up to the lens however does kill the battery, or using the wifi connection to my camera hooked up to the spotting scope. to have a remote viewfinder/recording device as well. between those and my GPS it would be nice to be able to recharge each night.

That might work, but a small 1-2k watt generator will work and let me charge everything at one time.

Ahh hell, put me down as a "strong maybe" too. But if I don't see more than a cow elk's posterior (as I did on hunt #1), I'm out in the future. Okay, I did smell those two young bulls, but that's 'cause the the senior member (meaning me) was ridin' drag. And I refuse to find and hold down the camp from interlopers - somebody else's gotta draw point.
Gimme the dates please, I'm just too old and lazy to look back through threads. My buddy, the manager of our deer lease, finally realized that we don't have to fill the feeders in August, so he'll probably plan an October run. The lease is 5 hours away, so I need to get my trips lined out.
I'll have a Honda generator too, for the frickin' CPAP.

Most years ( I have done this), you can walk into a DOW office and many times they would LOVE to sell you a cow tag, if they have any LO for that season. Have to go into the office in person though, which for most is a long trip from the bush. If there are any tags left after the draw, I believe you can try for those when they go on sale, but many times they go lightning fast. There are way's you can get multiple elk tags (up to 3 iirc) in the book, or online, but one of those options involve private land I believe, so I have never pursued that route. Personally, I never understood why the DOW doesn't make all tags "either sex", this would sure take the pressure off young bulls. Instead, they try to lower the cow tag price to encourage cow harvest I's bet most hunters would take a cow on the last day and be happy.

2 questions: How much alcohol do y'all consume and what's this "pine needle contraption" from which you charged your phones?
How many spots left?
