Trent's Lifetime Elk hunt













Trenton and his dad have been waiting 13 years to draw out on the ELK hunt and finally they both drew out this year, YEAH!!! I unfortunately had to work and was 8 1/2 months pregnant so I was unable to attend the hunt of a lifetime (darn it!!!)
His dad had a rifle tag and Trent had a muzzleloader tag. His dad got his elk which was a 6 point that scored 340. He was happy with that but Trent wanted something that was bigger then his dad's so that is what he set out for. Well he did it, he got a bigger one then his dad. Trent's was a 6 point but his scored 355 HOORAY!!! He did not get off the mountain until 10:45 that night. After returning home and showing off to family (who we had to wake up) we had to pack the elk with lots of ice (12 bags) because our taxidermist is in Bluffdale. The next day we had to rush the elk up there. I am glad to have the elk hunt over with and to finally have an elk but I am not happy about how much the mount is going to be. I don't have to worry about that though cause Trent is taking care of that.
