RE: Elk Hunt 2003 Story & Pics!
 

Redhawk,

Thanks. The first key in my mind is to have the photos available to work with in the first place. I bought disposable cameras, gave them to everyone and told them they need to shoot all 27 shots by the end of the hunt -- day by day I'd remind them and ask them "what number are you on". When you are up there in the middle of it, it is hard to "take the time" to do it. The disposables are great because, well, they are disposable so they can go in a handy easy-to-get-to pocket with other "not so camera friendly contents" where you would NEVER put a non-disposable camera. Having it handy is half the trick --- no one wants to pause very long.

The second key is to go ahead and take photos of what at the time seems like "mundane and ordinary" things that later, when you are back home, seem "part of it all" and much more valuable --- it fills in the spaces between the high points. Also it is handy for trying to "educate" folks who may be joining you as to what they are getting into (sometimes a problem).

Good Luck and Good Hunting,
EKM

I had my best friend die last July. Lucky for me I took several pictures every year that at the time seemed mundane, ordinary or over kill. At least I can pull out a photo album and look at our hunts, pack trips & brandings as the years pass. These pictures also came in handy to give friends & family (I had duplicates made) of his after the funeral.

Thanks for the pics and story. I especially like your 16X25 wall tent. That's a nice one. I think I've lived in smaller places that that.
