 Not going to FLA,  everything is still flooded, w/o power etc.
 Mother in law is fine at shellpoints shelter.
 I went elk hunting instead.

There is just something about elk hunting in North Idaho that is almost magical.
I would go up the North Fork of the CdA River to Pritchart and get a room at Gloria's.  It was a combination motel and restaurant and store.  A prime rib dinner came with the room.  I always reserved the room for two people, although most often it was just me.  I would have them wrap up the second prime rib and take it out for lunch the next day.
From there, I would range out to some areas I liked and take my rifle for some pleasant walks through the mountains.  Honestly, I never got anything, but who cared?  It was terrific.  Beautiful scenery, crisp clear air, and the promise of some tasty eating for the winter.  As I said, I never got one, but from some of the places I went, I didn't want to.

It's not the kill so much as the hunt.
Fresh air,
Beautiful Scenery,
Close to Nature.

Yep a nice walk in the woods does a body good . John, I have spent a lot of time up trouble creek, right there at the Pritchard turn off.  Quite a bit of bear sign in there.
 Well no elk for archery but now I have 5 days of "any weapons" season, I'll take my hawken.
 Then if that dont pan out I have trad muzzleloader only seasons in Nov and Dec.
