Default Watch out Wapiti, she's back!

Some of you may remember back in August, when I posted about my sister and her bout with West Nile virus. Well, she is back out in the woods and chasing her elk. We went out searching for her cow Friday morning.
She has a disabled hunter/angler permit but she has chosen to hunt on foot. Her permit allows her to hunt from a motor vehicle under certain circumstances.
Her hunt lasts until the end of March so she has plenty of time.
Here's a couple of pictures I took of her while we were out on Friday.


We probably hiked about 4 miles total. That is probably the most she has walked for any reason since recovering. Yes we did have to rest some along the way and the pace was not her old pace but, she was out there and ready to put it to those wapiti if they'd have shown themselves.
I am very proud of my baby sister and extremely thankful she is still with us. I fully expect to be posting a pic of her with an elk this year. If she doesn't shoot her cow, I'd have to say it is still a successful season for her just being there.

Actually, she still has recovering to do. She literally can not lift her rifle with her left arm. We have her shooting from shooting sticks or a branch on a tree. We had tried to work something out for duck hunting but, we couldn't work through the swinging the gun at birds flying issue. Hoping it won't still be an issue by next duck season. Also, turkey season should give us a better idea of her shotgunning progress. We are very aware of how lucky she is for making the kind of progress she has up to this point and she constantly pushes herself further and harder. Kinda makes me feel silly for anytime I have complained about simple aches and pains.
Thanks to all for the well wishes etc..I always pass on your comments and well wishes.
