In the very center of the picture is a huge Bull
Elk!
This last weekend was the start of the fall hunting tradition for 2008. Preston decided to try archery hunting for the first time. Grandma was kind enough to spend some time with Kaleb. Preston, his brother Nick and I spent some quality time in the great outdoors. I should let you know that for the last three years we had the animal in the truck by 10 a.m., so we have done little hiking, but I had a whole different experience this time. Saturday was beautiful, rather warm but worth the trip non the less. We saw a lot of animals; coyotes, grouse, moose, elk and deer. The morning started great we are on our way to the hunting spot and there were 5 or 6 bucks in the road, it was awesome but there was one or two draw backs, it was dark and it was private property. So on we went, we hiked a lot, but luckily my amazing husband was patient with me and never showed the smallest sign of wishing I hadn't come. The evening ended seeing the biggest bull elk ever! Granted I didn't get a very good picture but oh well. Then Preston was able to draw back on a doe but he didn't take her because she had two fawns. So we ended the day without a deer, it is early in the season so better luck next time. It was so fun I am glad that I got to spend a day with Preston experiencing the beauties of the earth. I am excited to get to go again.
