This year Cody and I had a father/son elk hunt in the Gallatin Valley. Usually we have a group of from 4 to 6 guys that show up for our annual hunt, but this year Steve didn’t draw a tag and a couple of our other guys opted to try a new area.

We set up a nice tent camp on the Taylor fork access. This spot had public use corrals and the river was fairly close by for water. 

This is beautiful country to hunt elk in, unfortunately the numbers in this area have declined significantly. We had an excellent hunt regardless. We brought 4 horses and swapped them every other day, so we covered many miles searching for a nice bull. But cows were all we located this year.

Good weather, good horses and great fellowship made for an awesome hunt.
