Great elk camp 2009~PIC HEAVY

[backwoods_boy]

Home and back to work after 10 days off and in the woods.

My dad, brother, uncle and i left on Oct 30th for elk camp and returned Saturday afternoon.

We saw ELK every day, saw lots of deer, saw tons of grouse, saw turkeys even saw two giant billy's.
But after Miles and Miles of hiking and hours and hours of glassing we just couldn't put it together.

Made some wonderful memories that will last longer than any elk steak.
Had a great time meeting new people and spending time with family and friends.

Cant wait to start planning for next year.
Next year we are doing wall tents so we don't have to come off the mountain as soon as the snow hits.

Hope everyone had great hunts this year.
Now its time to switch back to deer.  Late Muzzy and Late Archery.......

I took about 500 Pics so here is some pics i selected from our hunt.

thanks! As i get older with every hunting season i realize more and more how valuable great memories are.
The best place to make them is in the woods and around a camp fire.

Looks like a great hunt.  I'm glad there are so many people on this site that value the experience, and a kill is just a perk.

I for one have learned the importance of a great hunt and not just the importance of a kill.

Great photos, thanks for sharing. I love seeing other guys camp photos. P.S. Canvas wall tents are the only way to go!
