Scouting trip w/ my 10yr old

Post by hobbes » Mon Aug 03, 2009 9:15 pm

We did an overnight scouting trip last weekend. Didn't find a lot of sign, but enough to know that the elk are somewhere close by.

A break from the hike.

Old Rubs (found a lot of these of varying size and age)

Fresh tracks in the trail that weren't left by a hiker or their dog

Some of my son's and my best memories were the scouting trips we took more so than the actuall hunts themselves. Way to get the young man out there!
