Ewes, bucks and snow

Had a great day out in the field yesterday.  Days like that remind me of why I went into the wildlife field in the first place...sure wasn't for the paperwork or the politics!  I digress...

Enjoy some photos from yesterday...

I had a great time elk hunting, but the short story is...I didn't bring back any meat.  If you are satisfied with that...no, need to read further. 

If you are interested in more details...continue!  =-)

I was in elk every day and saw 3 different bulls and a few cows.  I jumped 2 bulls out of their beds about 50 yards away.  And the third bull was just a streak across the Big Meadow the last day.  I also snuck up on two different cows hoping big brother was nearby.  But, no big brothers!  I got close to a couple mountain goats, saw really fresh cougar tracks a couple different days, found bear tracks, had coyotes serenade us to bed one night, had great hunting partners, and got my snow fix for a while!! 

Had a great time!
