Still Hunting And Very Successful This TIme!

Yep!  Caden still has his gun and Jordan was still wishing for one! Haha!!

 We had kind of given up hope of see any elk this particular evening, but while driving on the Interstate Brett looked up on a hillside near where we had seen the buffalo eariler in the day there were a couple of elk.  He turned off the exit and we drove out to where he saw them, but the road ended :o(  We saw some more mule deer though!

Another older building.  Who knows?  Maybe it's a hunting cabin!  Pretty neat whatever it is!

The other place Brett was told to go look for elk was a little park area.  We had already been here earlier and there was nothing but trees!!  The guys decided to go back and lo, and behold, there were probably around 30 or more elk here!!

Just what we waited all this time to see!!  It's like the elk was saying, "And just what are you looking at?"

They are some pretty big animals!!

They were in people's yards

and just grazing on the hillsides!

Oh, if I only had a gun :o)  Look at all of them here!

We were all so excited!!

This area was full of them, but you can't see too many for the trees!!

Some places had super high fences up and Dennis said he thought it was to keep the elk out!!

I'm sure they can be pretty destructive!!

 What a way to end our day seeing all these beautiful huge creatures!!

It was just an awesome day even though it was very long.  When we got back to our hotel that night it was a little after 9:00, but felt like it was 1 or 2 in the morning as we had been to the Denver Aquarium and ventured up Mt. Evans.  Needless to say before we got to our room the boys had conked out and were sound asleep in the van.  Tired, but oh, so worth it.  I'd do it again tomorrow it I could!!
