RX for Cabin Fever- Elk Hunting Picture Thread

[Gerald Martin]

Its happened to me the past two years. When Sept. rolls around I've been so busy with work and whatnot that I haven't gotten as excited about archery elk as in times past.
Then winter rolls around and I wish I could have spent more time in September chasing bulls. After working on the house all day and watching the rain, cabin fever settled into my bones. I went through some pictures of the last major pack in elk hunt that I went on back in 2008.

I thought I'd share a few and invite everyone else to post up some of their favorite elk hunting photos. It doesn't have to be archery but it would be nice if they featured some of the better side of elk hunting like good scenery and sunny days. You can keep your pictures of waist deep snow and trucks stuck in the mud for another post. I don't need to be reminded of bad weather!

Get em posted up!

Seeing a friend score can be as much full as killing a bull yourself.

Fresh elk tenderloin when you've been eating granola and backpack food for three straight days? I doesn't get better than this!

GM- you are good! Getting that out those few pics. Recognize Stevens trail in the one shot? Tough for rifle, but alot of fun for archery.

Not specifically although I've hunted the area around there in years past. The vegetation in the other pics looked pretty familiar, that's what prompted me to ask.

First pic is me at 9 am and about 3 miles in. Little did I know that I still had 15 hours and another 7 miles that day. My buddy killed a small 6x6 right be fore dark. Man what a gruesome day...Man I wish I was there now!
