Annabelle's Long Day: An Elk Hunt Story

[Justin Crossley]

Annabelle Carr has been hunting since she was ten with her dad, @Jim Carr. I had the pleasure of hunting with them both a few years back when we drew late-season cow tags. In this article, she tells the story of her 2021 elk hunt with him and @Ryan Avery. It sounds like a wild, long day, so check it out and give her a warm Rokslide welcome.

Annabelle's Long Day

Annabelle, I thoroughly enjoyed your story. Felt like I was there! Sounds like if I go hunting with Jim, I need to pack a lunch!

Really cool story and gives me something to aspire to as a dad of two younger girls. Thanks for sharing your story and I hope you and your dad enjoy making many more memories together.

To say I enjoyed Annabelle's story would be an understatement! What an incredible hunt for Dad and daughter and Ryan! The grit and toughness showed by Annabelle is quite inspiring for anyone, but especially a youngster. Congratulations Annabelle, this will be a memory you'll cherish forever!

You probably better pack an extra headlamp and batteries too.

Great story. Way to go Annabelle. That story could inspire grown men I have hunted with from many years ago.
You pushed thru, perserverd, and made great memories with good people.
Heres to many more

Congrats to Annabelle on a great bull!

Since another year has gone by, is she now taller than @Ryan Avery? Just wondering based on the group photo in the linked story.
