That time of the year!

Anybody who knows Rick, knows that this is his time of the year. Hunting! He just got back from a two week hunting trip with his brother Terry. Terry drew out on a special archery elk hunt in southern Utah and Rick went to help him out. Once when Rick called I asked him if he was having a fun time, and he said "I don't know that I'd call it fun, its a lot of hard work." They would get up before sunrise (4-5 am) and hike the hills all day long, before getting back to camp at 10 or 11 pm. One day he told me he sat in a tree for 8 hours, watching and looking for "the big" elk. They heard lots of bugling and called several elk in but couldn't get a good shot. On the last day of the hunt, Terry got one. Success! I have posted a few pictures. These pictures were all taken by Rick with his cell phone while he was hunting. Ricks face looks different yet again, no shaving for two weeks. And when he got home - he just had the mustache and a goatee. I'll try to get a picture of that and post it. "The many looks of Rick!"
