Thanks for the kick in the pants, O.
September: elk hunting in the newly designated Castle Provincial & Wildland Parks. They took quads out of half of the parks this year, with the rest going foot-access only next year.
 |
| Heading in. These few flakes were just the beginning. |
 |
| Trophy Grouse. Almost close enough to stab with a trekking pole. (I definitely tried this.) |
 |
| Whose dumb idea was it to walk through the Christmas tree farm? |
 |
| Dumbass. |
About a half hour after this, we called in our one and only bull of the trip. 5 or 6 point, I couldn't quite tell from the brief look I got at him, even at 50 yards or so. Brush was too thick for a shot, unfortunately, but damn if it wasn't awesome having a bull come screaming in at us from halfway up a mountain. I might just have to come back and try this again next year.

October - Two hours to hunt in Grande Prairie on Thanksgiving Sunday. Supplemental antlerless WT tag filled. Almost as efficient as Pincher.
 |
| Fully bipedal when it matters |
 |
| So much fat. |
November: Back down south to Pincher to visit J&A and have one more crack at an elk. Found a herd, spooked a herd, no legal bulls anyway. Dang.

| Elk were here |
