I Shot 32 Elk!




I shot 32 elk in my pajamas...how they got in my pajamas, I'll never know. O.K. that was a pretty cheap Groucho Marx joke but it is true. I have spent several days this past week shooting elk with my camera. Snow in the Willapa Hills has been driving the elk herd down to valley in search of grass. This has provided endless entertainment for us in the morning as we sip our morning coffee. It has also been an exercise in mindfulness. The elk are so close to the house and so sensitive to our presence that we have to move slowly and deliberately lest we scare them off.
