Elk

Yesterday, I took the horse over to an area had never been before. There were lots of elk there and no other hunters.

I called in a huge bull. He walked right up to the Christmas tree sized bush I was behind. 15 feet away. Never got a shot.

Chased several more around that were bugling then about mid-day, I found a good wallow to spend the afternoon by.

I was napping about 3:00 when I heard hoof beats nearby. I raised up to see this spike bull in the wallow. Can't shoot spikes so I just took pictures.

Here is T taking her first ride on "Tony" the horse.



Cold front today brought a chill to the air.

Dave Crumley and I went on an archery elk hunt near West Yellowstone. Third year in a row.

We didn't bring home an elk this year but it was fun.
