Elk hunting with your wife & 6yo

[mthillrunner]

Took my wife & son out elk hunting last night. Wife has a damage hunt tag. We drove around in the side by side and had success. It was a great evening with them. Things I learned last night:
1) making snow angels while elk hunting is perfectly acceptable
2) my son goes from laughing, hollering & goofing around to dead serious immediately upon seeing elk
3) even while making insane amounts of noise(laughing, yelling, coughing), should still pay attention for elk, they don’t always care about noise

Number one requirement for a successful hunt, FUN. Looks like you all had plenty of it, plus made meat. Excellent.
