This Elk hunt was a blast, we had 6 out of 7 tags filled by day 4!!!!! with the7th tag filled on day 6.
I can honestly say some of the best family memories are made during elk season. Not only did I get to chase bulls in the peak of the rut, I got to share quality time with family and friends. My wife and I were able celebrate my oldest son's 5th birthday in camp this year!!!! We really take pride in knowing he has had celebrated 3 birthday's in elk camp in his short life from his 2nd, to his 3rd and now his 5th. We also pride myslef in knowing our youngest son who is 3, has been to elk camp at 1 and now 3 years old.
Another pride of mine is my wife, who recently purcharsed her first bow. I never tried to force the sport of archery onto her, but to my surprise, she came to me after a summer bow shoot and asked if we could get her a bow. She not only got her first bow (BowTech, Diamond), she is a natural at it. She has great form and is shooting better than some men I know. Way to go Kelly!!!!!
I was able to harvest my bull late in the morning of day two, when I caught him walking to his bed.
