Limited entry elk permit that took me 16 years. I drew Fishlake and on November 13, 2024 shot this 6X7 bull elk measuring 328. Itis my first elk and I shot it at the age of 76.

Broc (dad), Luke (17 yrs old) and Cody (13 yrs old) endured the early snowstorm during elk camp this year. The weather finally cleared and Luke located and stalked an elk herd for almost a mile before finally getting a shot on this cow elk. Then, two weeks later, Cody was able to harvest his first big game animal as a mentored hunter under Broc’s cow elk tag. Very well earned after many years being a faithful wingman to Broc and Luke with their packouts. He packed out both front quarters with a smile knowing this pack out was his. Broc is a very proud father with two sons that filled their family’s freezer.

My two boys love the outdoors and are always asking me to take them coyote hunting. So I took them on their first hunt and on the first stand I got a coyote to howl in the distance. We decided to pack up and get closer to the howl and started calling again. Before I knew it I had this coyote coming in with my 2 boys and trusty dog, ruger, by my side. I was able to shoot this coyote. Once we got to the coyote the boys were so excited and overjoyed they begged me for days after to take them out again. They cannot wait for their next trip.

The photo captures Jasmine mid-retrieve, proudly bringing back a duck from the day’s hunt. It’s a mallard, clutched gently in her seasoned jaws as she wades through the water, her determination evident despite her age. The scene is a testament to her enduring spirit—the drive and heart of a loyal hunting companion who has given her all over the years. This may have been her final hunt, but she gave it everything, earning herself a special place in the story of our Thanksgiving and a well-earned treat. A moment to cherish forever.
