{Dad's Elk}

The other day Broc was on his way down from Island Park and stopped at a hunting spot he knows to listen for some elk. After hearing a bull bugle a few times he called my dad because my dad drew on this particular hunt and told him he knew there was a bull in there. So the next morning they head up (at like 5:30) And took a friend of Broc's who is very good at bugling in elk and they ended up with this beauty.....

My dad was pretty excited. He said it was the funnest hunt he had been on. They had quite the time and spent ALL day in the mountains because they had to have horses brought in the get the elk out, it was so big. They must have had a good time because i have heard about it non stop since. Now that he helped my dad get his i thought he might be done hunting for a while but OH NO....he has plenty of people who would like him to take them hunting;) That's what he tells me. I told him he should be charging since he takes days off to go.....haha KIDDING!

That is AWESOME!! I'll bet your dad is so proud, and Broc too. MEN! HA HA. Maybe Broc should check into a job as one of those guides for elk hunts then he could get paid, but you would still be a hunting widow wouldn't you.

That's awesome - a little weird - but awesome! Too bad that he won't stay home with you for a while instead of out hunting more animals!

That's cool, good for Broc and your dad!!! You're a good wife. James only takes one big hunting trip, and he took it opening weekend, so I'm happy to NOT be putting up with hunting stuff for very long!
