It worked out good this year but I think that this will be a one time deal. It was a whole lot tougher than he expected but a great experience for him. I might have been a little tough on him for the first trip but it did pay off for his first trip. People just don't understand how hard it is when your packing everything on your back. I did not sugar coat the trip either. In fact I was almost discouraging it by telling him how tough it was going to be.

Yes I did have my video camera with me and got some good footage. Not as much as I wanted. I will have to go though it soon and put something together.

Hey everyone thanks for all the comments. This was my 21st season Elk hunting public land most with just a general season tag in Montana and I will tell you I love it more today then when I first started Elk hunting in the 80s. There is just something about making it happen on public land that is hard to explain. Seeing and helping someone else that has never experienced this type of hunt get their first bull is even better. Even though it hurts and I feel that pain every night, that hurt and pain drives me even harder. If I ever loose that feeling of the chase in the mountains I will quit doing this.
I know that these DIY Public land hunts are not for everyone but everyone should try it at least once in their lifetime. And for all those younger guys that say I don't have the time, I dont have the money, I'm out of shape or I don't have the experience to do a trip. I only have a few things to say. Take the time to make a experience, Save the money to make the trip, Get in shape so you will enjoy the hunt and the only way to get the experience is to go and make it happen. Hunt on Mark!!
