6 am. Getting ready for the morning hunt. Kelly will be wearing my extra camo today because her bag is still MIA. I'll post pics when I can. 35 deg rain heavy at times. Plan is to take a helicopter to the top of the hill and Hunt are way down to a hut where we will stay the night because of the bad weather.

A missing bag is a bummer. Always a good idea to put one set of clothes in each other’s bags. Looking forward to the pictures. Good luck.

Once Kelly gets up in those mountains, she won’t care what she’s wearing. It’s that beautiful.

Best of luck! Waiting sucks, but a dead Tar at the end of the trail will be worth it.

The bull fell off the cliff but didn't make the water. Wasn't easy but we got to him and got him out. My guide Mike is a stud! Really knows his stuff and is fearless! Kelly bag did come in. Chamois are up next.

Pulled back on a chamois today at 45 yards and he bolted just as I was about to squeeze a shot off that was the only shot opportunity of the day. Call Day on the mountain!
