10 days at home after finishing a 2 month season . Son and I pulled a group tag in a tough unit if you don't get weather to cooperate, and it didn't. Son had 2 weeks at end of rifle season after more than six thousand miles of flight time at both ends. I made the trip during archery and totally blew the one opportunity I had on a public land DIY hunt. Stalked it for a mile and had to turn around at private. Should have waited longer.
Came back a few days layer for October, rifle season, ground it out and tagged 3 for 3 in party before it was over. Came back with a freezer full of meat and lots of quality time with son and brother. I feel blessed.

We were. Type 1 either sex. We drew the 2 tags available in our unit choice for NR random category with 59 applicants. I took a 5x6, son got a spike. Resident brother spent majority of his time helping us and settled for a cow. Only had one snowstorm late in season that did little to move the elk. Got to cover a lot of ground to find them in the sagebrush. I hunted 8 days during archery and 8 during modern before killing a 5x6.
