Following up on Robby's live horseback hunt, I figured this would be a good pace to trade stories and pictures about out 4 hooved hunting partners.
Elk hunting is as much about the horses as the elk. It is always what I dreamed about as a young kid. Leading a pack string into the mountains and setting up camp with a wall tent and a stove.
When I got into college I took my first summer job in 1993 with an outfitter just so I could learn the ropes. I even got PAID and days off! I thought I was the luckiest 19 year old in Northern Idaho.
The next fall I met the woman who would become my wife and the next summer she took me to Northeastern Oregon to the outfitter SHE worked for. I got to see some new country and got to play at the Hells Canyon Mule days that Fall.
