What did you do today?
The day started out fine. Kids to school, Dr. appt. for surgery date (February 19th) then all heck broke loose.
You see we have a land owner tag for the Elk hunt. Yup, an elk was shot today and wouldn’t you know, it was shot and rolled all the way down into the canyon.
What was I thinking? Sure I could walk down there. After all the Dh, and two friends were down there butchering, sure, I can make it too.
Walking/sliding/falling down the hill wasn’t the hard part. After all gravity helped. The hard part was walking up. It took the us 45 minutes to climb out of the canyon. And the DH had 50 lbs of meat on his back.
At the end, while catching our breath and trying to not pass out, we saw a beautiful rainbow. If you look closely the DH is standing on the right hand side, taking a break.
I’ve never had elk but I understand it is pretty good! At least we’ll add another option to the freezer. Fresh caught salmon, elk and veggies from the garden. Makes me hungry. Of course first I would have to get my legs to work again to walk to the kitchen!
