As I hunted my way through the woods,


earlier this week, I came upon this high country pond, and decided to take a picture, after I had taken a nap. Tried to capture the beauty/solitude of a perfect afternoon in the Rockies. Maybe you had to be there, but 'twas a truly beautiful part of God's green earth. Not far from there, at a place I named 'Vista Ridge', you could see over 50 miles, in three different directions. Amazing... After 3 days in the woods, and hauling out 2 elk, we celebrated (with Apple Jacks), our last night in camp, as the rain turned into snow. The next day, it was off to Steamboat Springs, cleaning up in a suite at the Hampton Inn, then soaking in the natural hot springs at Strawberry Park, after which we met Bugs, at a local Steakhouse, where Inward Charles (Matt) treated us to microbrews and a fantastic meal. And some people wonder why I hunt??

So what do you do with that fresh "kill" as you're "hosing" yourselves off at the local Inn?

We bone (or debone) all meat before we leave camp. It's all chunks of meat, in coolers, w/dry ice that we bring with us. The secret to good (excellent!) meat, w/no wild taste, is to remove all bones, blood and fat and cool it down as quickly as possible. Our elk has ZERO wild taste, as we have learned how to process it, ourselves, over the last 30-some years.

Sounds like a plan......then with the remains after the deboning and "leftovers", do you leave the waste in the wild for the scavengers? seems like a "green plan". Feed God's creators or would that be contamination?
