High country elk in September!
Pat B:
My pack got here this afternoon so all is good. Camera was here all along, wrapped up in my ugly brown wool sweater. ::) Got 122 pics so as soon as I can get them edited and on Photobucket I'll post them.
Elktracker:
Cool! glad to hear you got your pack!

After Kenneth and I parked off the side of the Forest Service Rd we loaded up out packs, grabbed our bows and arrows and headed for the Salt Creek Trail Head. A few steps out I looked done to see this knapped stone artifact. It looks like the point of a knife because of the assymetrical design. Anyway I thought it was a good omen so I carried it in my pocket for the whole hunt....
Pat B:
This was the travel route to my stand each morning. The big pine just left of center is the General and at this point I begin the climb to the ridge and on to my stand...
...once you got over the steep part it mellows a bit...
...then around the side of the ridge...
...and down towards the stand area...
...with pretty good sign...
Pat B:
Once in the stand this was my view. Lots of elk trails come into this area like the spokes on a wheel. You can see how barren the ground on the other side of the creek is...
This was gonna be my rain shelter if a thunder storm threatened. The earth under the overhang is devoid of plants and is bone dry to about 2' back...
...and the wolf! 8) What a thrill. In this hard to see pic I took the pic just as he was turning to go to his left down the creek. At this point he is about 40 or so yards. About 2 hours later he came back up the creek and passed at about 30yards just on the other side of the creek below me. By the time I got the camera he had vanished.
...and a few visiters...
