Tomorrow I am off on the annual Afognak Elk hunt. I have gone elk hunting every year since 2002. So I guess this is the 23rd annual hunt - WOW! time flies.
On the elk hunt we do a lot of hiking where there are no trails, and climb up and down mountains. It is a hard hunt. So to prepare for the hunt, for the last week I have been trying to climb a mountain every day with the dogs. These are some photos from those hikes.
Of course on these hikes I mostly had trails and there was no bushwhacking. I also did not carry a backpack. On the elk hunt I'll be carrying a heavy pack. But it'll be beautiful. It is always one of my favorite weeks of the whole year.
