Elk Hunters, can you SMELL the smoke??
« on: August 18, 2010, 07:32:00 PM »
I shot this camp photo last Sept. in the Uncompahgre Wilderness.  I can still smell the camp smoke!  About 11,600', just below timberline.

TradArchers World is a sponsor here, so there should be a link posted.

Sweet Picture, thank you for sharing. I shot a picture of our elk camp in the Uncompahgre Wilderness years ago above the Bears den. Canvas Tent, smoke, mules and since lost the picture. Yours brings back great memories of that hunt and of that picture.

Thanks guys.  My wife told me that it might be OK to hang that photo on her "freshly painted living room wall."  Problem is the living room hasn't been painted in years . . . hmmm.

Tell ya what guys, we ate like kings in that drop camp!  Two nice bulls strolled into the meadow in sight of the sleeping tent during the trip.  One had a bunch of cows with him and went the other way but the other bull, a pretty nice 5X5, walked our way one evening looking for my cow call. There were 3 big wallows within 100 yards of camp, only one was there when we first arrived.  The other two sprang to life while I was sleeping:^(

I can smell it - I leave next Friday for a 2 week solo Colorado Elk hunt.  A great time to reflect.

Yes, please do.  Tom's TradArchers World magazine is certainly worth a close look.  He's a sponsor here.  I was pleased to have my photography on the cover of his upcoming fall issue. Don't know if you've seen it but, that's my photo on the current (Aug/Sept) issue of Traditional Bowhunter Magazine too . . . it's been a good year:^)

That's a Morrison ILF.  The other side of the limbs are copperhead skins.
