The summit we looked at from the "Burn" this morning was a "false summit. "
There are two more "false summits" ahead of us. |
|
We'll
skip to the summit picture below... |

There's Crow Peak on the left. Walk to the right of Crow Peak and
Elkhorn Peak and you'll walk into
Elkhorn, Montana.
What else is up on this summit?
Casey Peak is off to
the right. |

On a
serious note, if you're new to Elk hunting, MAKE SURE YOU STAY OFF THE HIGH
RIDGES during hunting season. |
|
Typically, the night before "Opening Day," the group will decide where
everyone will hunt. |
|
Avoid
being sent up high, even if you have to "fake" a leg injury. |
|
|
It's not
just a coincidence the older experienced hunters all begin to complain about
there "bad back" about this time of year. |
|
The older
hunters aren't lazy, they just don't want to go home empty handed. |
|
| |
|
|
Granted
the high ridges are nice... |
|
|
If the
weather is clear, you'll see a sunrise you'll never forget for the rest of
your life. |
|
|
When the
first sun beams hit, you can yell: "I'm the king of the World!" Just like
Leonardo Di Caprio. |
|
|
Unfortunately, this won't fill your freezer. |
|
| |
|
|
This
picture is a perfect example; We're getting a "nose bleed" from the
elevation as we watch the |
|
|
cow elk
sun themselves. So where are the Bull elk? |
|
|
We need
to turn around and walk down from the high ridge to the mid-point on the
mountain |
|
|
The
mid-point on the mountain offers plenty of tree cover for the elk to duck
into. |
