Randy's Elk Hunt

This past week Randy fulfilled a lifelong dream of tagging an elk. He made the 15-hour drive to Wilsall, Montana (small town located 30 miles northeast of Bozeman, MT). On his second day of hunting this 6 x 8 beauty came into view. Randy had a 50 yard shot, drew back, and let the arrow fly! He and his guide decided to wait a few hours before tracking it to make sure it wouldn't go too far. 2 hours later they found a few drops of blood and found him lying under a pine on the side of the mountain. Randy was ecstatic! He texted that evening to tell us the good news!Iknow that this is a much abbreviated story of the hunt, but Randy can describe it much better than this non-hunter can:)! As I type this, the cape and antlers are at the taxidermist, the crockpot is full of elk chili, and our freezer is stuffed with elk steaks! Randy said next on his hunting list is a moose! We better make room on our wall!
