Second Day of Season

This post is for all the girls and Josh. I saw him in the grocery store on Friday, and told him that I would post pics on the blog if we got anything. It was a bit strange to run into him in my town. The second morning of hunting season, my hubby shot this 5x6 bull around 7am.
The thing left us a great blood trail and we found it within 30 minutes of looking. We then spent the next 30 minutes cutting all the dead junk out from around it so we could start taking care of it.
After much slipping, sliding and trying to injure ourselves, we walked back (a long way) and got the packboards. The meat packing was interesting.... Straight uphill, about 100 yards and over a hill to the road. (Three trips each, and D packed the heavier stuff.)
These pictures don't really show how steep the terrain was. When we needed to rest (often), we just reached out in front and touched the ground. It was a great workout.....
Anyway, D made an amazing shot that was perfect, all while the elk was watching him... It was 60 yards, but he held for 40 because of the steep slope. He shot through a hole in the brush, too. (Freakin' trick shot...) I am impressed, to say the least. I hope to get something else to blog about as soon as I recover from this adventure. :)

Disclaimer: Please do not expect trick shooting from me. While I am not opposed to trick shooting, I am unable to perform these feats the way my skilled and handsome husband does. :)
