. . . often times it's more about making memories with your kids.
That is the best part of the story. Good for you two, building relationships.

I had one other picture of the elk as it was working it's way across the front of our position. Had we been hunting elk, this would have been the narrow window of opportunity for a shot. I've taken whitetail deer in the past very near this spot.

Nice young bull, Faulkner! Thanks for sharing the outstanding pics and story. It's great that you and your son got to share that moment. What a memory for the two of you...one that I'm sure will last a lifetime.

Great story and pictures. I also didn't know you had elk.
I used to hunt an area in northern Michigan that had elk. You have to draw a hard to get permit to hunt them but seeing them wild in the woods was a thrill. You should see what they do to a sapling when they rub them and high up too.

It's amazing how these big creatures just hop over a fence without much effort. I took these pictures last year in Boxley Valley when a group of elk crossed the road in front of me while I was on my Harley.
