plans for the year

[Larryjk]

Saturday morning was opening day for antelope area 61. My son, grandson and I were hunting west of bairol and got a call from son-in-law, who passed on anatelope but was doing some scouting opening day of elk archery about 50 miles south of Rawlins. He had taken a 6x7 rag horn bull and wanted some assistance in getting him off of Springer Peak so the meat didn't spoil. We sent into resuce mode and headed his direction with a large cooler and 150 pounds of crushed ice. We made the save and had the elk of ice by 1 pm and at the processing center by 4 pm. Skipped antelope hunting on Sunday and went again Monday (Labor Day). Didn't see an obvious record head but did see three bull elk (6 point ) trying to hide in the desert and another herd of about 20 trying to cross the road without being seen. Is always a pleasure seeing the desert elk. Antelope season runs until September 30 so we have time to find what we want.
