Back then I was planning a full-blown 2 week trip to Montana in which I would drive all the way from NC. I would spend around 10 days hunting and the remainder set aside as travel time. Well, that's not happening. For one thing, I don't want to be away from my lovely wife for that long, and for another my work responsibilities have increased a lot in the last 3 years and I'm not able to be gone that long.
No biggie. I'll do that trip someday. But this October I'm doing a 5 day trip. I'm flying into Billings, MT and hunting for 3 days in the North Central area of the state and then flying back.
The trickiest part of this trip is traveling with the dogs. I've transported my dogs via air before and I don't worry about their safety, I just don't like the idea of them being cooped up for 7 and a half hours in their crates. But I got Sis' crate out of storage today and they voluntarily crammed into it:
"We're good. When do we leave for this hunting trip?"
They'll have their own separate crates but I don't think they're too worried about the traveling aspect. Bird dogs seem to sense when there is a hunting trip on the horizon and they definitely perked up when I started getting some of the gear out today.
The countdown begins.
