Hunting Trip!

It's October and that means.... Hunting season!!! Elk hunting in particular. :) It was Kyle's first time going hunting and I was excited to see how he would like it. :) We took our trailer and Josh (brother) and Mike (brother-in-law) also slept in the trailer with us. It was really warm which was great! I mean, I love tent camping and normally I prefer it to trailer camping but I love having a trailer during a cold hunt. The furnace is a wonderful thing when you're freezing. :)

So we went in on a friday morning and  it was crazy. The weather had been horrible and so the roads were waaaayyyy muddy. Kyle was really nervous getting the truck and trailer into the camp spot - we were sliding all over the place. He did a great job though. I was proud of him. :)

Cute pic of me and my hubby freezing in the camp ground.

Very cold four wheeler ride to the top of the mountain.... BRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Kyla waving hi. :)

My cousin Aubrea and I were the only girls that went hunting this year. Neither one of us had a tag but we just like going anyways :)

The forest was really pretty covered in snow. Cold, but really pretty. I love it when it's like this, especially when you can ride a four wheeler through it.

Kyle all ready for hunting in his cold-weather gear. :)

The boys. Well, some of them. Kyle's sitting down on the ground on the left, my brother Josh is standing up, and my brother-in-law Mike is sitting down on the log. Good picture of the boys. Except maybe for the toilet paper up Mike's nose.... LOL.

Mike started getting a cold up there and so he stuck toilet paper up his nose to deal with his runny nose because he didn't want to have to keep wiping his nose. LOL. I just had to get a picture of it cause it's funny. :)

Here's my Poppy! Him and I were waiting while Josh and Kyle got into place up the canyon before we started hiking up the canyon to try and push the elk toward the boys.

Kyle's looking hard for those elk. :)

The sunrise was really pretty that last morning.

Do do do do do do do.... The waiting game.... :)










Unfortunately, nobody got an elk this weekend. We had a couple sightings and a couple close almosts but didn't leave with an elk. But, that's hunting for you. And I think that Kyle enjoyed the experience and will want to go again next year.
