Ok sorry to tell you the Internet at home is down so pics will have to wait but here is the story. It all started this spring when I got drawn on the multi-season elk. I was ecstatic a great opportunity to kill an elk just fell into my lap. Then special permits roll around and I made the choice to only put in for bull tags even though I had no real intention of getting drawn. Needless to say when I read the results and saw peaches ridge selected I went from being happy to cloud nine. It was a dream come true a chance to kill my first elk with my bow and a big bull at that.

The month of June was spent researching which trail cameras to buy and fine tuning my elk calling. The end of June meant time to put up cameras. My cousin and I went up knowing where we were going to put the first cam but had no clue on the other two. We spent most of the three day weekend hiking fighting the heat and Mosquitos. Seeing few elk we were kind of shooting in the dark as to where we hiked. We finally got them set and agreed on a two week set and see what we had and change batteries. I think he may have been more excited about seeing what was on them than I was. He took the first trip up to do more scouting and check cams. Well he came back with good news bulls lots of bulls. It was the same thing every time we checked them lots of shooter bulls for the next to months.

Ok well I have to go try and kill a deer before the sun goes down. Stay tuned I will be back with more of the story and hopefully some pics......

Resize your pictures first to 800x600 and they should load fine.

OK I got my pics to load....  :tup:

My cousin and I spent the last two weeks of August looking through every pic my cams had taken about 2,500 in all. We finally had it narrowed down to two different bulls a 5x6 and a 6x6 each beautiful in their own way. The 5x6 wide and tall and the 6x6 heavy and even. The two bulls were coming to the cams on a regular basis and during the day! Perfect right?!?!?!?!

August 31st came and it was time to hit the woods. We got camp all setup and couldn't wait to get into the woulds to check the cams. The suspense was killing us even though we had seen the bulls a million times in the pictures from the month and a half before. When we got to the cams it sure was a surprise but not the surprise of a new monster bull that would trump all the rest we had. It was that there was not a bull on film. After finding out all we had pics of were cows, calves and spikes it felt like we got shot in the stomach. Despite that bad news we kept our chins high and knew we had four long days of scouting to try and find even a shooter bull.

Alright here are some of our trail cam pics. Its time for bed. I will be back tomorrow to tell more of the story!

Really?

 The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong in the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.

I rarely post, but this thread is awful.  Please take this personally as in "Please take this personally".  If you are going to write a story with pictures, then do it right the first time.
