My dad and I have each shared the same dream, since I can remember, to venture on a backcountry elk hunt by horseback and hunt bugling bulls in the Rockies. When my dad retired a couple years ago, we made plans to check this trip off the bucket list. For almost three years, we anticipated the day where we would head to the Absaroka Mountains of northwest Wyoming. My best bud and our hunting partner, Cory would join us on this special trip although he would not be carrying a tag.
The plan was to give ourselves a few days to enjoy traveling and acclimate to the 6-10,000’ elevation increase from home. We left western Washington Tuesday morning, enjoyed a bbq lunch outside of Lagrande and made it to a hotel in Pocatello for the night.
