Posted a thread a couple of weeks ago about being "Ready I think" and somebody requested me to post pics so he could hunt elk through us kind of thing, anyways, took a few photos while we were up over the last five days, will post more as the season plays out.
 
Elk Camp 2013

The view from my John! Wish I had this view at home from the can!


The wife all decked out with no elk to spy!


A spider we spied while taking a break.

Just some scenery shots looking down toward our camp, big mountain in the background of the first and third photo is Thirtynine Mile Mountain I believe.

One of the ones that somebody lost or just couldn't make it through the winter.


I'd so like to be rich enough to practice on our decoy when nothing is responding, notice she looks like she is laughing at us!

just another stump with lots of character!

We had a nice 5 days in the woods, but it was sooooo hot, 80+ degrees at 10k feet first two days and not much better the next three. First day by the time we got past road construction and what not, we got about an hour of hunting before dark, we decided not to call or anything, but just to walk up by camp where we seen lots of sign two years ago when we hunted this unit and see if there was any sign. We seen some tracks going in, but nothing smoking fresh, we eased up through the shoot and all of sudden I see movement in the trees ahead, a real nice bull I think, had we hunted that spot like normal and setup and called we might of gotten a chance, but in a flash we saw him and then he saw us and that was all the elk interaction we had. We did get into a mess of grouse the next evening and Judy finally got to shoot at something living, she didn't get anything, but all her arrows survived unscathed, I didn't get anything either, but am two arrows less now, lol. I get to go up again Thursday for the day or maybe two and then next week we go up for another week of hunting together, it's what we live for and practice for the other 335 days of the year!

Excellent post! love the pics and details.

Great pictures and story... Sorry the chance at the bull did not evolve, but it sounds like a super time just the same.

Great post!  Enjoy every minute up there and good luck!

thanks for taking us along....

I'm enjoying all the pictures. Good luck on the hunt.

I've hunted 39 mile.  Good area.  Keep us posted and good luck.

Always great to be in the mountains!  Good luck and thanks for posting.
