Summer Scouting Trip

[Eland]

I spent the last week in the Colorado mountains, wilderness backpacking and doing a little scouting/familiarization for an upcoming elk hunt. I thought I would share a few pics of the trip.

This one drenched me about 45 minutes after I took this picture.

A couple of wildflower pictures.

For whatever reason, I just loved this particular stretch of creek. It also happened to be a pretty good trout trickle.

This will keep you on your toes. Fresh!!

The views out of my �bedroom�.

They�re not the greatest pictures (distance, hurrying, raining), but there�s elk in them hills.

Calvin, that's great that you got on some elk on your trip. What was the weather like? I would have been splashing around out in the lake :grin:

Sure does look like you'll be hunting some beautiful country.

Those elk will be right there in another 4 weeks come opening of archery. Man I wish I had time this year to scout... but I've got 8 or 10 honey holes that at least 50% will be covered with elk, so I'm going in blind opening morning this year.

Picture #1, the start of the usual summertime rocky mountain afternoon buildup. Most days start crystal clear. Then in late morning to mid-day billowy white clouds start to form. Then, as often as not some pretty good thunderstorms in late afternoon. Then you awaken next morning to a cloudless sky.
