Bethel Ridge elk: 1961
« on: April 29, 2012, 10:23:54 PM »
I found some old slides that my dad took in 1961. He killed a 5 point bull on Bethel Ridge. I was too young to hunt with him at the time, but I still remember hearing about it.  I could hardly wait until I was 12 and could go with him.  I have many fond memories of hunting in that part of the country for many years with my father growing up.

I wish I were around back in the days you could put a elk head on the front of your rig and didn't have to worry about hurting someones feelings. whats wrong with being proud of your accomplishment?

Outstanding.  Your pic brings me back to the day of my youth hunting that same hill.  We all wore those mackinaw plaid wool coats, german army surplus wool pants (itched like a thoiusand fleas on your azz...LOL !  ~The good ole days before choose your weapon, spike only, branched antler permits, parking passes and the crowded fun of 9 day season in October.
