[PleaseDear]

Using the extra coolers for storage works well.

 

[PleaseDear]

Honk-n-Wave if ya pass me going over 1 of the 'Sisters' before Fort Bridger exit/I-80

That Y sticker ruined your whole trailer robb!

 

[mtnrunner260]

Best of luck Robb!
I was planning to go further west off you but looks like I'll be waiting until the second weekend now.

 

[hossblur]

Does the Y sticker know about the Crown bag?

 

[Gorilla]

Does the Y sticker know about the Crown bag?

I don't care who you are, that is funny...

 

[DaveD]

Does the Y sticker know about the Crown bag?

bags lol

 

[BradN]

I'll be a few hours behind you. Heading up first thing Friday morning. Love the Gorge!

 

[littlebighorn]

Sweet ride Robb.
You always seem to get it done.
Best of luck

 

[PleaseDear]

The Crown bag keeps the lock from rubbing the paint on the trlr and it really helps keep moisture out of the lock channel when traveling in stormy weather.



Plus, it's fun to MT the bottles for use of the bags......



Rifles are packed up and ready to load today under the shell of the JPGladiator.

[PleaseDear]

I'm taking the .45/70 for still hunting thru the dark timber and blow down crap-O-la



The 7mag for sitting up in the cliffs and watching some micro meadows for maybe a 200-300-400 yard shot.

 

[PleaseDear]

They fit nice

 

[PleaseDear]

They do travel nicely


I wouldn't use the Double Case for flying though.

 

[PleaseDear]

Anyone going to Horseback hunt or pack in?


I miss those days with my Llama Packstring.



Robb

 

[ridgetops]

I'll be heading out Friday afternoon. Hunt elk first three days, then move camp and hunt early rifle deer the rest of the week.

 

[LIK2HNT]

Wish you luck. But I think you are missing A LOT of gear. My trailer is always jammed packed!! Looking back it amazes me that I use to hunt out of a backpack for a week or two. Now I think I could hire a semi to haul all my gear. ???

 

[rmanwill]

Good luck to you all.

 

[PleaseDear]

It's just a 5 x 8 trlr so it all fits just fine.



I have really cut back on all the chit I don't use or need though.



My harvesting worry is if a Mnt. Lion comes along and I fill my Spot-n-Stalk tag, but if I have the .45/70!


That will be one hell of an exit hole to patch up for my taxi!



Get a good workout in this morning, hit Kents for ice, fill the cooler, hook-up, is about all I have left.



Yes, I do have a drain on the cooler that exit's out the floor, good eye to those that reach out to me.



Good luck Everyone,





Robb

 

[elkhunterUT]

Big fan of the Y sticker by the way Robb - good luck this weekend!!

 

[LIK2HNT]

Always thought about putting a small freeze in the front of the trailer box and mount a small generator on the trailer tongue.
Keep food frozen and raise temperature to keep meat cool on trip home.

Nothing worse than a minimalist convert to shame the rest of us.

All the best Robb!

 

[Airborne]

I'll be going a good ways into the wilderness tomorrow with some trusty pack goats. Hope we come out packing heavy

And to top that off he drives a Jeep. The bed and cabin of my ‘one seater’ crew cab are stuffed also.

 

[Muleman1]

Any luck ?

 

[PleaseDear]

After I got rid of my 2010 F350 and the Toyhauler, I went to taking only what I use/needed and the lil 5 x 8 trlr work's great on both my Jeeps


It's gotten so organized and simple that; laundry goes right into the clothes RMEF luggage, from the dryer and I just have to swap out weapons for which ever hunt/state I'm heading to.

[PleaseDear]

The hunt was a blast, the Full moon was so dang bright, I didn't even turn on a headlamp to cruise in the morning dark.


I ran into sheep hunter that had the Rocky Ram tag over across the Gorge on BareTop mnt. he was glassing from the Red Canyon Visitor Center lookout, and we had a nice chat and he stopped by my lodging that day to go over my big maps of the area in 3-Corners.


I actually hiked up on this Ewe and her Twin lambs earlier that same morning but on this side of the Gorge (Sheep Creek Unit) while scouting for elk for the morning Opener.

 

[PleaseDear]

How does that saying go ~~ Don't turn down the first morning what ya would shoot the last morning.... haha


I had glassed a small herd of elk the morning before and there where 2 small Raggy bulls and 1 decent bigger 5 x 5 bull with some cows/calves. I mean this is an OTC General unit that gets hammered!


I had to play the wind that opening morning as it wasn't the normal morning direction.


Prolly about 0735, I saw movment in the thick Ponderosa Pines and 1 of the lil Raggy 5 x 4/5? bull came out about 60-70 yards and he kept looking back so I had him in the scope of my .45/70 but I swung my scope behind him to see if he was looking back for the bigger 5 x 5.


He started to walk off and I couldn't get a good aim on him and then he went down a small ravine, I took off to look into the ravine and I never saw him??


I should-a- just shot him and not have worried about the bigger 5 x 5 dang it! Pix after the fact of where he came out and then where he went...

 

[PleaseDear]

I have a Dr. Appt today, so I had to travel home on yesterday/ Wednesday.


I got into elk every day and never saw another hunter on the Mnt. by me. Trucks galore and parked all over and of course trl heads but I just park off the side and bushwack out....


I like most of us, I'm back up for the Muzzy hunt of our Multi-Season Gen Elk tag.


Kinda hot but no complaints at all, beautiful days for sure.



Robb

 

[woodruffhunter]

Great report Robb and seeing elk every day on the general hunt is great; I wish I had a tag this year as I am really wanting to get out again. I am sure you will do well on the Muzz hunt.
By the way, I have been considering a setup similar to yours. I have a toy hauler that I really like but it's a pain to drag around and expensive to pull. This "glamping" resort over here sold all of their used canvas tents (I know they are not called tents but don't know what they call them). They are similar to a wall tent and fairly light and BIG. I bought 2 of them and might just use them for a base camp and take an enclosed trailer.
Good luck on the remainder of your hunt!

 

[elkhunterUT]

Great update Robb - you are loving life and having a good time. Hope you have fun the rest of the way on your hunts!!

 

[PleaseDear]

Hey Thanks!



I've still have the Ut Muzzy Bull,, Az Bull and to wrap it up my last Wyo Reduced Price cow tag on the NER in late December.


Yeah Woody ~~ that lil trlr is very stable and solid, here it has 537 lbs of Wyo Bull Buff meat cut-n-package frozen for the trip home.

3 150 qrt and a 120 qrt cooler.


Plus, the Bull Buff head and cape in front of the coolers.



I think it would work great for many of us hunters-----not a quad trlr though, eBikes/Mnt. Bikes ect.


Robb

 

[PleaseDear]

PS. here is th link for those that reach out of my BareTop Llamas website with Rams ect of those units up by the Gorge.

Sorry,

Still don’t see enough gear. This is my trailer for going on my son’s hunt not even completely packed yet. And ice chests and other gear in vehicle.

That’s an awesome set up! I might have to do some looking for something similar!

 

[woodruffhunter]

Thanks for the info Robb. You’ve got some great ideas. I’ll need to start looking for an enclosed trailers. We should have some good out of state hunts coming up next year.

 

[PleaseDear]

You are Welcome


The actual Highlight of my trip was getting to meet-n-greet our own TripleK and one of her son's.



That son of Her's and Roy is one very polite and respectable young man.


Bessy never did swing by though------>



Robb

 

[woodruffhunter]

Great Robb.

Bessy was probably out tuning someone’s wheeler…..

 

[Ranger1]

Always love coming along on your hunt via Monster Muleys! Thanks for sharing the great pictures. Great seeing elk and letting some of the young boys walk by. Good luck on upcoming hunts! Look forward to following along on the Ariz one!

 

[PleaseDear]

Hey Thanks!



Be safe out there

Couldn't beat the weather. Best camping weather of the whole year. Made elk hunting hard.

Saw tons of dudes, camping, as usual. And good for them. Funny how few dudes you see in the trees, vs how many are sitting by a fire each night. Lots of "camping permits get bought, and there's no problem with that

Looking good Robb! Remember getting the llamas out for exercise with a punk ass kid with green hair? I came on here looking for some info on a unit I have a tag for and I see you on here. Been a long time!
