Default Bison Hunt 5 more sleeps

Time is flying by, too much packing left to do.
Here are some pics of my tent we are going to use for base camp.Should be large enough for 8 men and the new addition of Mark's son. Will add pics as the trip gets on its way. March17 to 30. Taking icefishing gear also.

Looks great - have a blast!

Thanks guys for the support! Of the 8 guys who are going with me I only knew 2 of them before. Met the rest on the OA! Great Forum !! There should be a lot of stories around the table . We are taking 4 trucks 2 enclosed trailers and 2 flat beds, should be quite a convoy.

You bringing the guy in the background in the first pic?

Always fun to bring a prankster on a trip!

Just make sure all the bottled water you drink is from sealed bottles...

THREE SLEEPS TO GO!!! Yup I think I'm ready. Thanks for all the well wishing and we'll do our best to get good photos and I'm really hoping for opportunity to get some good video as well. Final sighting in this morning with the "buff gun" and I'm ready to go.

Got to head over to Turbo's and help put everything including the kitchen sink in the trailers.
