Title: 2010 Elk season
Post by: toyman2 on November 03, 2010, 09:00:45 PM: Well there was good and there was bad. The good i got to hunt 5 days straight and camp, i saw about 30 elk and a couple were bulls i also saw alot of deer and some pretty nice bucks, broke in a good pair of boots(not the ones in the pic), had alot of fun and learned a little more as well as learned a new area.
The bad was the weather for the 1st few days, i could have done with out the rain and wind, the wind part at camp was kinda my fault because of where i camped, the rain well my tent doesnt do well with the rain and i never even got a shot off or even pulled up the rifle.
Next year im going to try and have a wall tent, cot, wood stove and a few ohter items to make life more comfy.
