Elk camp 2014

Howdy folks, woods here

I got back a few days ago after settting up fall hunting camp for Black Otter Outfitters

anyhow thought you might enjoy a short video and a few pics.



we started out from the ranch at first light and ddrove the ten miles to the trailhead, afterwhich we saddled and loaded the stock.

its only about a six mile ride into our Big Creek hunting camp, still it was noon before we arrived there.



after tending to the mules and horses (releasing the majority of them to fend for themselves in the mountains around camp) we went straight to work pitching a wall tent or two.

the frames for the tents we built last year and they were right where we left them leaning against some trees, that

was good because sometimes folks will cut them up for firewood.



the coffee was done so after a quick cup of real cowboy comfort we took up the chainsaws and headed to the "salt mines" where we proceded to make little ones from big ones.



Here is the video link

and here are the photos



so here we are at the trailhead, saddling and packing the manties with food, tools, tents, utencils, hay for the horses and our duffle.
