Josh is back from elk hunting
Josh has been gone hunting for a week and finally returned tonight. It was a wonderful night with lots of hugs and kisses from his little girls. They missed him so much a week is a long time for them to wait for him to come home. Josh had a lot of fun spending time with his family and friends. They hiked and hunted long hard days, he has very sore legs and feet tonight. From the pictures he brought back it looks to me like they were pretty comfy with a chess board game, a DVD player, a generator for lights and a grill, and a stove to heat their tent. Not too bad considering they have never had a generator in camp before, generators can do a lot for you. They saw elk but never close enough to shoot at any. There was a full moon out every night and that made it so the elk would stay up all night and eat because they could see and then they would bed down and sleep during the day when they were hunting. So this made it pretty hard to come home with an elk. But Josh did have a dear tag that he got filled. He shot a buck and was pretty excited about that. I was also excited about that because that means one tag down so less time away from us. Anyway we are glad to have him home and here are so pictures from the hunt.

WOW! Hunting looks like serious business. Glad someone documented it.
Curious....
Do you have the meat done for your freezer by a butcher? Or do you do it yourselves? And how long will one buck last you for winter? Or do you share with another family? But it sounds like your hubby is out to get more meat, yet.
Once Wyatt see's this its going to make him so homesick. I'm getting him a new hunting rifle this year and next year we're going to go lots! It looks like they had a good time.
I wish you could have seen how excited both Jeremy and Luke were about these pictures! I think Jeremy now thinks both blogging and hunting with a camera are good things :)
