bugling

well, we finally did it. we have booked an elk hunt for september in colorado. ive been wanting to go do this with my dad since i was about 15. this next september, me, my dad, brother, greg allen, kennie prince, and another fellow will be joining us. i know there are memories that will be made this fall that i will remember for the rest of my life. theres something magical about the aspens and cottonwoods turning colors, the fall breeze, and hearing a bull's bugle echoing off the canyon walls. best part is, ill be sitting there with my dad when he hears it for the first time. i cant wait to get in that wallow with dad and start calling and hear that lovesick bull answer the call of the wild, or in this case, rob. this is already a succesful hunt cause ill be there with family and friends chasing elk through the high country of the colorado rockies. if we kill a bull, it will just be a bonus. of course, we're all going hoping to bag a bull, but its the experience that makes the hunt succesful. i know time flies but im counting down the days. im looking forward to picking dad up in salt lake and knowing he and i are headed to elk country together. 183 more days
