This is a dormant volcano about 30 minutes from my house. I was hunting Blacktails and elk opening day a few years ago and posed my Blacktail bow with some huckleberry brush.

There had been a herd of elk down in this little green opening and the smell of elk was heavy in the air.

Had to add acouple here....they are from a few years ago....I know not only because of the date on he photo, but I apparently have been shrinking in my old age....because my son is much larger now!
Anyway, Green River Lakes, WYO. as a native and a transplant now in Utah, I still try and make the trek at least once a year....no better place to dip a paddle.
Great pix fellas :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
King, yup, I'z a bit twisted.
By the way, LOVE the pic of yours right after the one with the eight elk where you are at full draw in the aspens and all that golden light is coming through the leaves.
AWESOME photos guys!
When elk hunting, the one thing I love more than a good hard frost in the morning - is a fresh covering of that beeoootttiiiiffuuulllll white fluffy stuff. Now that's elk huntin' in the mountains!
Joe VT - that's a neat photo of the elk shed with your bow against the tree.
Only 27 days and counting 'til elk archery season here in eastern WA!
