Rod's Elk Hunt











Thanks to our Son In Law Khris who put Rod in for a special draw permit this year, Rod had a great experience Hunting Elk. With the Help of Khris's family and Derek and Cameron, they found a big bull. It was a 24 hour day from beginning to end before the day of the hunt was over.
It never could have happened without so much help from everyone. Riley and Grandma stayed with the horses for 12 hours and played tic tack toe in the dirt. It was a long day for us.
The moon was so bright that night that we were able to ride out to the trucks with no flashlights at all. It was a beautiful night but a bit chilly.
We had many miracles that day that saved money and our lives. Khris's truck lost its clutch but not until we were safe on the mountain. Derek lost his GPS, but found it in front of him hanging on a bush. Kent lost Clay's radio in the morning on our ride in to where the elk where, but he knew where it was and found it in the dark on the ride to the trucks that night.
You just know after that many good things happening that someone is looking out for us.
A great time was had by all.
