He Shoots...He Scores!!!

My mountain man just become the proud owner of a nice 6x6 elk. I got a text Friday night while I was out with my girlies with this pic of Brett and this huge elk. My response was "Is this really yours?!" I was schocked...I was expecting another week and a half of no husband. With the help of Brett's best hunting buddy, Chance, they got the perfect set-up for this poor elk. Brett said he has never had such an adrenaline rush as he did hunting this thing. I am just in awe of how hard these guys hike, run, elk call and everything else that goes into making a kill. I am also super impressed that he did it with a bow...I mean anyone can shoot a gun right?...but to get in close enough range to shoot these massive animals with an arrow is pretty darn impressive. We now have about 300lbs of elk meat being processed...I just keep telling myself there is nothing better than grass-fed free range meat:) Chance and Brett headed up to Flagstaff afterwards to help out Chance's brother, Blake, get an elk. They surprised me by getting home early...with the full European mount in hand. Hmmmm...I wonder where Brett is going to find a place to hang that. My only rule with hunting was no dead animals in the house, so he's going to need to find some other place for it. Brett is one happy man and to be honest I am one proud mama:)
