Elk Hunting

Kent went hunting last weekend with my dad, brother and Karl. They had a good time other than the rain and snow.



This is my Dad and my brother Jesse is standing on the four-wheeler on top of a mountain trying to get cell phone service.



Kent wanted to go hunting again Tuesday and talked me into going with him. I thought I would be real bored, but it actually was really fun tracking elk. We hiked 8 miles that day and I enjoyed hiking, being in the outdoors and looking for things. We saw lots of elk, deer, moose and bear tracks. We thought we were behind a bear with fresh bear droppings and the tracks being so fresh. Kent heard rustling in the bushes and said, "lets keep moving up the trail". And I asked him why and he didn't want to tell me. He was worried he'd freak me out thinking we were so close to a bear. In a way it would have been cool to see a bear but only at a distance that I was safe. I did figure it out and I was surprised I didn't freak out all that much since Kent had his gun. Thank you to his mom for coming to our house at 5:30a.m. in the morning to watch our kids for the day. I really appreciate it. The kids had a great time with grandma.
