Out with the boys

So, believe it or not, Domenic Sanelli went out hunting this year with my brother in law. I wish I could have been there myself to see it, although I know I would not have been able to handle the intense hiking and freezing temperatures up in the mountains. I did however, manage to get Dom to take a few pictures.

I must say, I am very proud of my hubby. After all, he isn't used to this out-doorsie kind of stuff, and this was his first time hunting...ever.

Domenic, Isaac, and Isaac's friend from work Aaron were out hunting for elk and deer, but it seems to have been a pretty tough season. We had 2-3 neighbors who also went deer and elk hunting and no one caught anything! Those dang animals must be pretty smart. Either that or everybody terrible hunters. I prefer the first :)

It would have been nice to have caught something, considering that the meat of of an elk would feed my sister and her husband as well as me and Dom for an entire year! Oh well, better luck next time.

Although, one night while my sister and I were waiting for our hubbies to come home, we saw this white truck pull up, and what do we see in the back? ANTLERS! or so we think, so here we are peeking out of her window and the guy driving the truck was probably thinking we were psycho weirdos or something, but we were so jealous!

So after looking into the bed of the truck for a few more minutes we realized that the things we were getting all jealous over were STICKS! We could have sworn they were antlers. Ha Ha, how embarrassing.

Here are some pictures from a couple of the hunting trips they took:

Above is a picture of one of the ridges they were sitting on. I guess Elk like to hide in the brush so it is easier to see them from up high.

The Grand Teton Mountains!

Dom. What a goof ball. This is one of the only two pictures taken of him. Nice mexi stash huh? That is what you get when you are a guy and wake up at 4 in the morning to get out hunting by 5 a.m.

Some Indian cave painting that the boys found while hiking around. Pretty cool huh?

If nothing else, the sunset was worth the trip.
