HI GLEN HOPE YOU ARE WARM ARE YOU HOME OR STILL IN THE HILLS. JERRY AND HIS WIFE GOT BACK FROM SAGUACHE OKAY BUT WITH NO ELK.

ALSO HAVE YOU HEARD ANY NEWS ON SWEDE WE HEARD HE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL GOING UNDER THE KNIFE. STAY IN TOUCH DONNIE
Donnie,

Talked to Kenney last night and he said Swede's operation for the colon problem has been rescheduled for the 16th. He's sure had his share of trouble the last few years, but he's hanging in there and talking about going hunting with Kenney.

Kenney got a six point bull just north of Hanna, has a permit for a cow in another area.

Seen lot of elk in Tarryall. One herd was on the ranch land off of the LP Road, a couple guys shot a cow and the game Warden was following them back to the road in his truck, the Warden had the cow in back of his truck and must have taken the hunters gun's also. The Game Warden made them walk back and met them on the LP Road. You can see the two guys in one of the photos I posted on the blog Tarryall Elk Camp . The quality of the photo is not very good, but the best I could do, I counted over 30 head of bulls in that herd, including the spikes. You can click on the picture to enlarge or copy it.

That area south and west of FR 130 off of the LP Road is a hot area. Big camp in that area last year by the springs. The herd I seen this year that was on the Columbine ranch went on around the ranch on the North side. They most likely went back up in the Johnson Gulch area, seen four head coming down off the hill in the first draw east of FR130 and north of the LP Road. Some guys had taken off after them and most likely ran the elk back over the hill to Johnson gulch, I was by myself and in no shape go after them.
