joining the ELKS club

After packing all day today, we got a phone call from a friend of ours at work -MJ. She has been trying to help us on our hunt for bull elk. We told her that we did not see any scorpions in tucson and we didn't want to leave flagstaff without seeing bull elk ( esp. since flagstaff has the highest number of elk in the lower 48 states.) The problem was that everytime she called us we were on our way to work, or getting ready for work, or sleeping...but not today!!! Packing all day and looking for a break anyway, we got in the car and headed to her mom's house to see them. Her mom boards horses and the elk graze in her field all the time... it was so amazing...they still had velvet on their racks!!! We got so close, like 30-40 feet away, we may have been able to get closer, but i didn't want to end up in the ER on my day off. i can talk about it all night, or just take a look at some of the great shots we took!!!!
