Jason drew out for an elk tag this year, and so went on his first elk hunt. He went along with Eric, Megann, Dan, and some cousins of his. They had a camp already set up at the top of some mountain for the trip and rode in on horses.
It was the first cold and snowy weekend of the year, which is unfortunate timing.
Here's the camp. The large tent had a wood burning stove in it, so they were all quite warm. In fact, he was probably warmer there than Addie and I were at home.
They spent many hours riding through trees and spotting nothing.
This is the closet to bringing home an elk as anyone got. Jason took a shot and just about the only elk they saw on the entire trip. It was an unlikely shot, but it apparently hit so they followed the scant blood trail for hours and miles with no sight of her. He was disappointed but enjoyed the trip anyway.
