Kyles Hunt

Disclaimer: If you have a weak stomach....DO NOT READ THIS!

So I tried to post this the other day but my computer froze. Kyle went on his big Elk hunt the beginning of this month and was successful!!! He scouted elk for about 4 days and then the day the hunt opened, he saw a big one and had 2 seconds to decide so he shot his elk. It is pretty decent size for his 1st elk. Just so you guys know, he has been waiting for this hunt for about 14 years so it was a big deal. We kept the skull and horns and turned in the meat which should feed us for about a year. That makes me happy since the economy is suffering and meat is expensive. We will just call that our food storage :) Here are some pictures:
This picture is taken from where Kyle shot it from. Pretty dang close.
He's so proud
I know this is gross for some but this is how it works. They cut all the good meat off and thats what we will be eating.
The head. I have a picture of the skull when it is all done and looks cool. That will be in my next post.

So the grossest part is the skull still looking bloody. But how cool to have meat for a whole year! I'm glad that he was able to go on his hunt. Pretty cool. Can't wait to show these pics to Jer! hehe

That's so cool! Buck is so jealous. Hey, if it comes to the point where we have to hunt for our food, can I borrow Kyle, and send him out for a weekend? Because Buck only shoots ducks and they don't have as much meat...only like a day's worth of food...
