2012 Elk Hunt
Gordon:
We call in several more bulls over the course of the next 10 days but can never get a good shot. But we have many memorable experiences. One time I call in a nice bull and as Chuck is positioning himself to arrow it, he trips backward over a log and spooks the bull. On another occasion I call in a 5x5 for Max. I can see both the bull and Max and I began to wonder how Max could seem so non-pulsed when the bull comes within 30 yards of his position. Then I watch in horror as Max puts a cow call to his lips and starts calling! Of course the bull locates him immediately and vanishes back into the timber. Later when I ask him about it he said he had no idea there was a bull in the vicinity and that he was only trying to help me out. I looked at him and say “Son, next time, don’t help”.
Gordon:
Following are more pictures of our trip.
Elk Camp 2012
Max and Chuck killed several grouse with their bows on this trip. Boned and fried quickly on a hot pan, the breasts are out of this world good.
Gordon:
In addition to grouse, Max made sure that the camp was regularly supplied with fresh trout.
Even dad got into the fishing when he wasn’t elk hunting. ;D
Gordon:
I was camp cook and my job was to make sure that nobody was going to go hungry!
…or thirsty!
JW_Halverson:
One of those grouse looks a little "fishy"!
Incredible story, great photos, a real pleasure to read. I am so glad you and your son were able to share this experience together.
