Elk Hunting Tree Dance
Wednesday, September 24th, 2008While Elk Hunting, some hunters perform the ‘Tree Dance’. What’s a tree dance you ask? Not really a dance at all, but the noise will bring elk in from within hearing distance. It emulates the sound of bulls fighting during their rut season. Dalton also uses branches in this video to copy a bull elk [...]
The Dying Lodgepole Pines in Colorado
Wednesday, September 24th, 2008I’m sure everyone has noticed in every picture I take and publish on this website of landscape, there are ‘red trees’ in the photograph.

From a Ghost to a heaving Elk to a Black Angus Cow?
Monday, September 15th, 2008How weird can a hunting trip get? This one, folks, tops them all beginning with a long hike back to a secret elk hunting spot and picking up a ghost who apparently wanted to go hunting. I promise you, though the sun was shining brightly, I was not delirious!
Gerry, Dalton and I decided today would [...]
