Some of us have lots of time. Lol! But the story goes- My mom fell in the creek walking out in the dark. I couldn't believe she was even there. Determined parents I have. And this is the part of my story, well their story
when they were going the wrong direction. It was my mom, dad and Adam/AKA/mtnpull/AKA/legend's brother Mark walking out of the woods in the dark after they gutted the beast. My mom said they were walking along the creek thinking they were going in the right direction and woops, down in the water she went. Got head lamp? Flash light? Heck no!!!! She said she couldn't touch bottom, so apparently a big ol hole. Yikers, anyway my dad pulled her out. And yip, I wish I had pictures of that. Then they figured they were going in the wrong direction. The creek was running the wrong way. So thanks to Marks cell phone. They called a gal that also lives in her cabin and had her drive to the nearest road and honk her horn and flash her headlights. (That sounds funny) Anyway, they heard her honks and saw the lights and got their sense of direction back. Made it out with one soaking wet mother!!

That is sweet!!! GP!!! Your dad is quite the hunter. When you told me he was retired, I thought he was retired from work. Then when I walked into his Trophy House, I saw that he was retired from hunting!!! LOL!!! It looks like he has a hard time staying away from work!!!
Its good to see he is back out in the field!!!
Will you ask him if he would give Melissa some private shooting lessons???
I have had her on two 300 class bulls since her hunt opened and I will be darned if she can hit the dam things!!!! I just don't understand how you get buck fever when you are elk hunting!!!

He was so excited. And he called me after they sent us the pictures on my email and asked if we could print them off. He likes to HOLD the picture and carry it with him. I'm sure he carry's a photo book in his pocket, not a wallet.
He's quite the shot. Definitely a great hunt for him.

Jeanette, you talk about him and hunting like he talks about you and Ron snwomobiling. Your proud of him and he is super proud of you. You all are good peeps.
Sometime while your out here we will have to ride and when we stop for lunch we can chat about some areas to hunt and some options.
I will be coming out on the 1st. I start the new job on the 2nd. I'm bringing the ATV and dirtbike for now and when I go back for Thanksgiving, I'll be snagging the sled.
Did somebody say:
DIRT BIKE????

My dad did.His hunting days were over a long time ago. He has one of everything and no where to hang anything else. I grew up on wild meat. So I'm not so wild about it now. But my dad's neighbor got him an elk tag because he wanted my dad to get out and hunt with him. And he got one a couple nights ago. He is so excited. The story of his night is to long for me to write. So here is the short version in one sentence. He went out alone in the evening, got his elk, went back home to get my mom to help, she called a couple friends, it got dark, they almost got lost, my mom fell in the creek, dad had to pull her out, got the elk gutted, and went back the next morning to haul it out. Short story eh? My dad is 64. I think getting this elk made him feel 10 years younger. I'm so proud of him. And a big thanks to Adam/AKA/mtnpull/AKA/Legend... My mom and dad wouldn't have got it done without your brother. Thank you! They appreciate you guys a ton!!! Here are pics of my dad's elk. Not to bad for a old guy hunting by himself. He said the biggest one he had ever seen in that area.
I think he is still in shock he got this elk. My dad is such a STUD!
My dad and his neighbor that bought him the tag.
My mom and dad.
That is great to see. Love all the pic's of the elk, hopen to get home for elk season in Nov. I grew up on wild and still can't get enough of it. But work keeps me eat beef, It is whats for dinner.
Thanks again for the great PIC'S
P.S. love the story, great friends he lives next to.

Great story GP, Here are a few pics of my dads bull. He will be 65 in two weeks. He came out from Vermont a week before the season to try and get acclimated. First day we were up at 2:45am, dragged him through 5 miles of complete h e l l and called this guy in at 0800. Not bad for his first bull ever. Of course once the shooting stop the real work began. He is not sure he wants to do the any bull on public land hunt again! He likes shooting cows too! I cannot tell you how lucky I am to be able to share the passion that brought me to Utah with the man who taught me to hunt.... Thanks DAD!
That is one neat bull, Thanks for sharring.
