Well today was our 3rd day of hunting Spike Elk with the Muzzle Loader.
The first day we saw around 40 elk and we had a few stalks but they saw us. On one stalk Cody forgot to put the primer in his gun after he left the truck.

And of coarse he had a spike standing broadside At 80 yards and CLICK no ca boom !!!!! 2nd day very few Elk spotted .
Well today was his day.

We saw a herd of 32 Elk ( 1 spike ) moving across a mountain on the opposite canyon around 1 mile away. We went back to our truck and drove a 1/2 mile past the elk and Cody started his stalk ( with primed Gun

) he climbed around 1200 feet in elevation as the Elk fed around the Mountain to Cody's location. I was watching the whole thing through my spotting scope back on the other mountain and could see both Cody and the Elk at the same time . Then I heard the bark of his Muzzle Loader across the Canyon. Cody called me on his Walkie Talky and said he had taken a shot but could not see if he hit him because of all the smoke. Seconds later ( while dad was saying a prayer) he found the Elk dead where he shot it.

. One more prayer of thanks and I was back in my truck and back up the canyon. I stopped just below the mountain that Cody was on and began the 6 hr job of getting his bull off the mountain. From the location of Cody and the bull my truck below looked like a ant .

Any way I am ONE happy but really sore Camper!!!!!
