Thanks for the story. The country is so breath takingly beautiful. It would be a worthwhile experience just to visit it. You did a wonderful job with the story and the pictures.

To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

I've been saving this one since I returned from my own hunt so that I could sit and savor it.  Partway through now, and the rest is going to go down great with a cup of coffee in the morning!  :coffee:  
Great story!

I read it twice myself. Great adventure fer sure!! I especially like the little Brookies or Brown trout. I'm not sure which species they were but I can taste them from here in Texas.

I'm headed out for Elk camp tomorrow morning but I'm a little afraid I won't see any elk from where I'll be-in the streams. Thanks for sharing the story Shaun. Your writing is getting really good! CK

Wow!!! Great story and pictures guys!  :thumbsup:   That was well worth waiting for and is certainly one of those trips that will live on in your memories for the rest of your lives.

Horses are made for elk hunting in the Rockies, and I think make for the absolute ultimate hunting trip anywhere in the world.  You are all fortunate indeed to experience it.

Thanks for bringing us along!  :notworthy:    :notworthy:

Nice job on the story Shaun and John. It was a great week in the wilderness with a couple of guys that shared my passion for the outdoors. I thought I would add a couple of pictures but this is my first time on the site and I can't figure out how to insert pictures into this reply. Suggestions welcome.

Welcome aboard Eric! This is a great site. There is a post at the top of the Pow Wow list that is stickied in place on how to post pictures. Basically you open a free Photobucket (or other) photo server account, load some photos and then paste the link here.

You earned that elk fair and square, put in the time and sent the arrow. Kudos!

What can I say other then thank you for the trip!

Mountains, horses, elk and stickbows... dosn't get any better then that!

I like the look of that Blue/grey horse, always had a soft spot for greys and there smell too.

One of these days I'll get my act together for a hunt like this one.

Shaun,

I am thrilled that you got to do this hunt.  But I am even happier that you shared it.  It was very well written and the photos are stunning.  I got back from my Idaho trip last night about midnight.  I have lots to share but little time to process it all.  I'll try to do it as well as you have.  Thank you for the inspiration.
