Family outing/scouting trip

[Spitz]

Last weekend I took the family and we headed to the hills of New Mexico for a little adventure. My wife saw right through my labeling it as a family outing and called it what it was, a scouting trip. We'll see in a few weeks who the scouting trip ended up being for, more than likely some of you and not me, but I will continue to hold out hope that I have some Moosie or Big Fin type luck here shortly.

Hit a ridge for a hike and saw plenty of elk sign. It was nice to be back up above 8,000 ft.

Spent a little while in this spot trying to bait the lion out of his den but he wasn't having any of it. He knew who would win this cat fight.

On the drive home we stopped to see this thing in the sky up above White Sands missile range. It just hung there for quite a while. I swore it was an alien, turned out to be a NASA balloon.

Looks like a fun day. Hope you get to put that scouting to good use.

What are you using to take your scope photos? They are very clear.
