Randy's Elk..

Okay so here it is. This stupid thing made us have a weeks worth of torture. We are glad that he was successful and even better that he's home with us. I don't have to worry to much about having it hanging in my house yet. As most of you know I don't have a house. But he did however take it to get mounted. So I am sure I will have to give in and except that creature as a wall decoration. Oh well. Nice job babe!! We are proud of you. CAUTION: If you have a week stomach you might not want to look at the pictures!



Notice his bloody hands in the back ground? Knowing Randy, he ate his nasty oyster's after he gutted his elk. That's making my stomach turn just by thinking about it.

He was so proud! It took a lot of hiking, and sitting in the cold to find him. Randy would say it was well worth it. I guess it depends on who you ask.

Randy's dad had to go up with the Mules and get the Elk off the mountain. Thanks Nile! :) All in all he had a great hunt, we are extremely glad he is back. While he was gone I only bought 2 pairs of shoes, a new purse, more body spray and several things of lotion.. Maybe next time he won't stay so long. I think I shop when I'm depressed..

WOW. That is an impressive elk!

Add me to your list if ya would. I want to keep up with the Carlsons! I know you've never met me, though, so if you'd rather not - it's cool. =)

Nice. Again, I hate to say it but I am so glad Mike doesn't hunt.

That's gross! I love that you went on a shopping spree while he was gone. I do the same thing when my husband golfs! And he doesn't even leave as long as a hunter:)

LOL - I think we deserve to spend money when the boys are away playing! We should be able to reward ourselves for taking everything on while they're away, especially crazy children! haha.

Love the Elk! That is totally awesome! Now we both get to have dead animals adorning our walls! lol.

Holy crap that sucker is big! Chris is sad he didn't get to go. But I must say I'm glad it's going on your wall and not mine! :)

I love to shop when Chris leaves too. I'm alone every weekend so what else can I do to keep myself happy!
