All went well on the trip, we filled up by early Sunday morning. We stayed in Rock Creek all day Saturday, Bob saw four but no shooting. James and Marty had gone over to Little Dunlap late that afternoon and found the elk, the wardens estimated five-hundred in the herd, they got one cow. We went back Sunday morning and by luck they were still in the area, we filled and came home. The weather was very pleasant, no snow. NO PROBLEM WITH POSTING.

Thanks Donnie,

Will post it in the next couple days.

Jason, my grandson, called today, January 4th, 2005, and said his group had three hanging and expected to have two more by late yesterday. Jason didn't draw this year. He gets pretty excited about this elk hunting business --- who doesn't --- and had a couple wild stories to tell about his bowhunting deer in Illinois. Posted a short comment yesterday -- will add to it later. The DeGroots had quite a trip to Rawahs again, seven of them including their sons and Billie, Donnie S's son, took 12 horses into the back country and the first night a Moose came through camp and spooked the horses. The horses broke out of the corral and the guys spent the rest of the night looking for them. One of the horses was injured enough to require a few stitches, on top of that they were skunked on the elk. That doesn't happen often with that group, they're hard hunters and take this elk hunting pretty serious.

Talk to you later,
Glenn
