Last weekend, John and I went up to Big Lake to do some elk calling with his good friend Jacob. It was really random...but a lot of fun all at the same time. I didn't realize that hunting was such a sport. There were all kinds of people up there. We took the dogs with us and they seemed to enjoy it. They were ruining the fishing though because they kept prancing through the water. The mountains up North are so nice this time of year. 2 quick funny stories...John and Jacob thought they had spotted an elk so they told me me sit down and hide with them...I plopped down on the forest floor and after a couple of minutes I started getting bit by ants.I looked down and I was sitting on an ant hill. Yikes! That was smooth. The other memorable event that happened to us was when John was trying to bugle at 11 pm. Our friend Jacob told him to stop because it didn't quite sound right...of course John didn't quit and from out of nowhere this huge owl came 3 feet from us. The owl thought that we were varmon. His claws were stretched out ready to pick something up. John grabbed his flashlight and shone it in the owls eyes and the owl took off. Well...a minute later, John tried to do the elk call again and lo and behold...the owl came back again. Don't worry...we still have our faces!!! it was a very fun weekend.

What a fun time of life for you. And you look great in your "camis".
That sounds so fun! I miss the Arizona Mountains :( I always loved going to Big Lake. That's funny about the owls, too... I'm glad you had a fun time!
That just made me smile! I never knew this side of you. How fun, I need to get up into those mountains! Did you know Bishop can do an elk call?
oh so you can comment on this and not Warrior Robin, huh Danette?... lol!
It sounds like you had a great time. It's fun taking the dogs on trips. We have heard the elk bugeling this past week. They are very talkative lately! Good luck on your hunt!
