Photo Gallery Added

Under the web cam picture, there is a new link to a photo gallery. We will put photos there from time to time.

Webcam is back!

When we got our new computer a while back, we couldn't use our webcamera with it so it has been down for a long time.

We now have a new one. When you click on the link (left side of this page), it opens the last three photos taken and cycles between them.

This camera is wireless which means we should be able to move it around to different areas to make things more interesting.

From time to time it will not be showing recent photos. Sometimes we will be using the camera for other things so it will just be showing older ones.

First day of elk rifle season

Got an elk!

I rode in to the Gates of the Mountains Wilderness on Stubby yesterday morning about 2 hours before daylight. I tied him up about halfway up a mountain and hiked to the top in the dark. It was just about shooting light when I heard a bull bugling not too far away. I started moving that direction and after a short distance, I saw a spike bull at about 50 yards. Can't shoot spikes though. He moved on so I was able to ease over to the right side of the narrow ridge I was walking on and continue. Just a short distance further and I came to a saddle (dip) in the ridge and I could see several cow elk grazing on the other side. I ranged them at 175 yards. I heard the bull bugle again just below my line of sight so I moved ahead to a small rock outcropping and set my backpack down for a rest. The bull fed up the hill into the open and I took the shot.

He should be a 6x6 but two brow tines were missing.
