High country elk in September!
Pat B:
Kenneth makes a comfortable camp. He had stashed the tent and other supplies a few weeks ago in bear proof hanging bundles between two trees so we could travel relatively light going in. ::)
Setting up the wall tent was new to me but interesting. Kenneth cut solid deadfall for the ridge pole, shinnied up a big tree and he and I hauled up the 6" pole and he tied it off to the big tree. The other end of the ridge pole was propped between the X poles and lashed securely. Once done with a few more additions we had a home for the week.
Pat B:
The tent was very roomy. Kenneth had a kitchen set of in the right rear of the tent...
...the wood stove and wood just inside the front door on the left...

Wolf Watcher:
Pat: That wolf is probably why the elk were gone! I have had it happen to me more than once! Not only do the elk take off but they are on red alert and that makes for some really tough sneaks! The elk here are in very large herds and out in the open as much as possible so they can see any approaching danger. The wolves don't kill the bison, but those old bulls that choose to spend the winter out in the mountains have an attitude and that makes them mean! Add some grizzlies and you have a Yellowstone eco system hunt! It looks like you had a good time and that is what its all about! A/Ho Joe

Had about 50 Moose in the area the whole time. got a shot at a cow unfortunately i was 40 yards out and shoot from the horse,only missed by a couple inches but it was enough. Going back up after muzzle loading season ends. will post some pics later.
