Went out searching for elk.. but no luck of course.  Seen lots of fresh sign- heard of guys walkin out with bulls, but not us... not me.  One more weekend to go.  Last weekend we were stupid & went up in the mtns w/o tire chains, and tires that aren't great for mountain terrain- BAD idea.  It started to snow pretty hard & we had to hustle out of there.  I had a great cover story if we got stuck & someone had to pull us out:  our tire chains broke & we had to leave them up the hill.. broke to pieces..  nothing left of em.  HA!  Yeah, well, in a pinch it works!  Next weekend- TIRE CHAINS.  Supposed to be heavy snow up there, so we may not be able to get up there at all anyway :(.  Someday, somewhere, somehow- there's a big ol bull elk up there with my name on him.  I think I'll call him Looie.

 Either way, the scenery was BREATHTAKING.. if all I get out of elk hunting is the experience of the spectacular mountain panoramic scenery, the fresh scent of the pine forests, and the soft glistening snow, AND the thrill of almost getting stuck in the snow.. I'm game.  Oh, and men look great in camo- that too.  I took some great photos that I will post later.  ENJOY!

he he he HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
