Wayne's Elk

 

They found her! Wayne shot this cow elk in the evening; the same evening that I (Kim) was bear hunting. It was pretty exciting because Mike and I saw 4 cow elk making their way down the trail toward Wayne. Mike heard Wayne shoot his bow. A little while later, we saw 3 cows making their way back up the trail. Yes! We started to gather our things so we could help Wayne blood-trail his elk, when Mike spotted the 4th cow - now, about 5 minutes behind the others - trying to keep up with them. We could tell she'd been hit, and Mike could see the entry hole through his binoculars. We met up with Wayne to begin the search, but night was coming on and we didn't know for sure which game trail the elk had followed. The guys decided it would be best to come back and try to find her in the morning. And find her they did! Here she is with the mighty hunter that felled her- that would be Wayne:) Congratulations, Wayne!
