EXCITEMENT IS IN THE AIR, HOLD THE SNOW PLEASE

The Utah "any bull" rifle elk hunt is just one month away!  I also have a cow tag this year.  I am starting to think about elk hunting all the time.  I can't help myself.  I just love getting out and being in nature with my son -- trying to find a bull or a cow for the freezer.

I need to go shooting some.  I haven't pulled a trigger for over 10 weeks.  I need to practice my rifle skills.  Who knows, maybe my rifle has grown mold in the barrel?  Maybe my scope has lost its eyesight?  I need to practice.  I also need to walk to the park or to the intermediate school or to Cool Canyon and back everyday or two and get in better shape for the opening day of the hunt.

Some photos from days gone by elk hunting:

I hope to have more results photos to post soon.  I know I will have a great time!  With harvest or without -- any day hunting is better than a day working.  Days with family just make the whole camping, hunting, outdoor experience even better.  I am so blessed to be able to do this.
