As many of you may know, we are expecting a little girl very soon, so I had one last chance to sneak away and do some hunting before my season comes to an end. So why not make it an adventure. 25 miles into the Bob Marshall wilderness in MT would do it. We left a week ago last Wednesday for the Danaher camp of WTR Outfitters in the Bob Marshall wilderness complex. We rode 25 miles on horseback an
d 
enjoyed a primitive but comfortable camp for a whole week. The hunting was tough, it was really hot for this time of year and the elk weren't practicing their normal yearly ritual of rutting.
All and all it was a tough week but I did manage to take a pretty nice bull on the third day. One of five guys that was there and the only one who was successful in taking an elk. I love the chase for elk, they are such a majestic and challenging animal. Oh failed to mention that I had to rebuild the hitching post after my guide's colt spooked while tied to it and torn the thing out of the ground. I guess I earned my wages while I was there. Hope all is well with everyone. Talk to you soon.

Great pictures. Beautiful country. Your trip sounds like a dream-come-true for the avid hunter. I've always heard that elk are very hard to get, they are very smart. Glad you got home safely!
