Highlights of 2008 - The Elk Hunt

Obviously this was a highlight for my husband, but I can't leave him out, now can I? You can click here to see what I posted before. I just asked Russ what the best part of this year was and he said "bow-hunting with my dad." I pretty much already knew that, but I just wanted to check. I think for him there is alot more to it than just going out and trying to shoot an animal. It's about sharing something with his dad, including the months of planning, staring at maps for hours, packing and preparing the horses and all the other stuff they get to do together. It is a way for him to bond. Kind of like us girls going for lunch and pedis - only alot colder and much more work. :) I am glad Russ is such good friends with his Dad and that they can share these times together and look forward to it every year.

This year they went bow-hunting in August (above). Last year they went on the rifle hunt in October (below). Brrr.
