Here is the end, as promised, of the two plus weeks I’ve bombarded your feed and e-mail with elk camp pictures and stories. After today, there will only be cute chipmunk pictures and everything shall go back to normal for awhile. Wyoming Barn. Any of you who would like purchase this as a gift for my…
A few days ago I shared the travel pictures taken en route to elk camp. Well, we finally arrived. My sister, Rita, her boyfriend, Jason and their dog Atlas, joined us a few days later as well as some friends from Tennessee. I’ll not bore you with the details, such as 3 days of rain, Rita getting…
Having been in the wilderness for over a week, I had lost track of the days. Realizing on my evening hunt that it was, in fact, Wednesday, I began snapping pictures from my perch. Here is what I saw. This is the view to my left, see my shadow? View to my right……. And behind…
My last walk of September was, as you may recall, taken in Wyoming. Our annual elk hunting trip hit the Cowboy State this year, thanks to careful planning and the luck of the draw. I’ll touch more on our 2 week adventure later this week but for now I’d like to share the photos I…

Elk Camp was very unique this year. Every year is special in its own way but this was one for the books, I think there may be a poorly rated, low-budget Lifetime movie in the works someday soon but until then I’ll just give you the pleasant high-lights and leave the rest for your imagination. …
Every year, during the latter part of October, my family makes the 17 hour journey to the state of Colorado in hot pursuit of the wapiti. Not only do we take ourselves, we take a friend or two plus 6 horses, 2 canvas wall tents, 2 wood burning stoves, as many coolers are we can…
I’d like to introduce y’all to Tater Tot. Now I’ve had Tater Tot, or Tater as he is commonly called, for about 8 years now. Tater and I go WAY back. He packed out the first elk I ever shot and my husbands elk the same year… And he has been packing ever since….. But…
