T Mobile the last couple years works in many places out west now that Verizon does not, NM is one state in particular. It is interesting, Verizon used be the end all out west. Not anymore.@Bucket a new whiskey has been named with the ending of elk camp. The freedom to do this hasn't gone unnoticed.

The trip is coming to an end, it's been an epic experience. Personally, I can't believe I got to do this. Most people would thank their wife for allowing them to live in the mountains and chase elk for multiple weeks. Me, I just hope I have a wife when I get back home tomorrow.
BB has a lot of catching up to do. For once me having el cheapo t-mobile has paid off.
Really hope you enjoyed your hunt and trip.Camp is packed up. I fly out tomorrow. I'll give start recap when I get home. In the meantime, here's a pic of Jack's buggy. I need a ahower.

Did you "robs mom her"Wife just got home. Continued tomorrow
That's a lot of work. Wouldn't it be easier to hit it straight from the bottle?While we are all left wandering if BB is busy burying his wife in the back 40 or not, I'll share a recent cocktail recipe I concocted/stole/improved upon.
I call it "elk blood", don't confuse it with Cam Haynes and Rogan's energy drink, this one has the opposite effect.
2 oz bourbon. Wish I had some Old Elk left but this WYO special release fits just right.
1/2 oz luxerdo
2 dashes of quality bitters, don't skimp. Actually I'd skimp on bourbon before I did on bitters.
Pour luxerdo in bottom of glass and swirl. Pour bourbon and bitters over that. Some ice and give it a few stirs.
You can drain it or allow ice to melt and slowly sip away. I like to allow ice to melt while I sip and cook elk tenderloin on the smoker.
That weather is pretty typical around bow season, even in Colorado. Areas of NM can get a little warmer, depending how far south you are, even in the mountains. When we hunt ML season, we hunt he morning hard, get back to camp, have some lunch, nap or just talk, then head out around 4pm and hunt hard again.The weather was miserable. Not your typical late September elk hunting weather, more like TN September weather; only a dry heat. On some of the days, it was hotter at elk camp than back home in Maury County. I'm now a self-declared expert at elk hunting, so in my expert opinion this had a profound effect on elk movement. The elk pretty much shut themselves down at 9 am and didn't move again until the last 45 minutes of daylight. Our typical day was to hunt a full morning, go back to camp for lunch, take a 2 hour nap, grab a snack, and head out to a glassing spot for the evening.
This plan seemed to work. We'd located several good herds of elk in little overlooked pockets and it was only a matter of time until one of the herd bulls slipped up. So we thought.
