St Jude Elk Hunt

Doug Campbell · September 18, 2007, 10:15:00 AM

Well it seems I've been busier than three people here for the last month but that's bout to change. Brian Halbleib gets here tomorrow for his elk hunt

Joseph Myers, our master Chef

is picking him up in Billings and heading for the Ranch.

It's been real tough finding elk this year but there is a little white stuff in the hills this morning so I'm hoping it'll get better.

Got this nice mulie tied up

waiting too...

WOW! That's a dandy. Happy hunting Brian.

Counting the hours...Fortunately, I have a deer tag too and I'd be real broken up if I had to settle for a measly deer like one pictured above :D

Hey, it wouldn't be a hunting trip for me without some fun like forest fires...My arrival in Colorado for an elk hunt in 2002 ended a 6 month drought and it rained solid the entire week I was there. Or the time in 2004 when my arrival in Anchorage brought the hottest temperatures in a hundred years, stalling the caribou migration to a stop.

Hmmm, stay home and work or head to Montana on a beautiful piece of private property with wild elk, deer, trout, etc. calling that place home...fires or no fires, elk or no elk, I'd go regardless. For me, it's all about being there...always has been.

See you soon Doug!!!

Gee Doug, where is the third buck, did you get him already? I saw a third one with those two, whose rack size was between the two pictured, about a month back headed for the spring where you had the blind a couple of years back ( The one I helped you pull down around Christmas time.). Best of luck to you and Brian and if you guy's feel like sitting a stand for whitetails some evening/s or morning/s let me know and we will make it happen. Oh, Joseph is invited too.
