The Elk, etc!

Matt got his elk today! It was a tough hunt! He only had until next Thursday to find one and he did it today! I knew he would get one and a nice one at that. He's such a good outdoorsman! Anyway go figure, the elk dies at the bottom of a steep canyon. Thankfully there were a few itty bitty trees that stopped him from going any further; which would have made it nearly impossible to get him out. Thanks to the winch on the in laws four wheeler and some man power they managed to hoist the big beast to the top! Blake was able to leave school to come help and then of course Brandon and Roger helped as well. Laurie and I got to watch and wrangle Karissa. Karissa did not like it at all! She actually called it a bug at first! LOL Now the excitement is over and hopefully Roger can get a nice one soon too! Here are some pics from the days adventure and a video or two of them pulling that monster up the canyon!
Lugging it up the hill!
