Thanks for the advice guys! If only I would have seen the chapstick comment before I left! They are just now healing! Our hunt was great. The first 4 days were rough. We had not found any sign where we first set up camp, So we made a move. By day 5 we were finding fresh sign and the rut seemed...

Thanks for the tips Wy-tex. I will be around Estes park Thursday and Friday for vacationing then down in the Gunnison area for scouting my unit for the rest of the weekend. Hopefully a thief will be the least of my worries but who knows nowadays.
