Superstition

Was it because I wore that old brown sweater with the zipper in the back?  Or that I didn't take my binoculars?  Maybe because our mule Dinah was along.....

Finally got my elk today!  Thanks to the good grace of my boss who covered for me this morning, Mike and I were able to hunt on the very last day of my long-season tag.  I put a big sneak on this herd.  This fat, young elk will be a bonus for some empty shelves in our freezer.

It was a great hunt, the mules did wonderfully, my guide was in a good mood, and I landed back at work by 1pm!!  A fire AND an elk within 24 hours.  Life is good.  Life is good!
