So as I was walking down the big ridge...

Dad and I went up to Bull Creek last Thurs/Fri and had a good time. We hunted the Rocky Basin on Thursday morning, saw some/an elk at about 200-ish yards, and heard him raking his antlers on a tree. We got set up and cow called, but I'm pretty sure he just circled in down wind and got our scent and spooked. Then Thursday afternoon I went way down into the bottom of the Big basin and hunted around. Heard one bugle and went way down the stream. I think I spotted a bear or cougar den or something, but I only glassed it from across the canyon. (didn't want to walk right up and say hello to a grizzly) Then on Friday morning I was walking down the big ridge in between the tip top of the mountain and the point where we walk into the rocky basin. As I was walking along I noticed a dark grey stone amid all the tanish/yellowish stones and soil that are naturaly up there. I bent over and picked it up and sure enough I found an old Native American spear point (or something, whatever it is/was). I think it's pretty cool. Take a look.

Wow Russ. You are awesome. Cool spearhead rock thingy. If only you could give it to a museum and have them give you lots of money for it. Seriously.
Someday, someday I am going to go to Bull Creek. Can't believe I've never been up there.

Some people in utah just went through a big trial for stealing native american artifacts off the rez........ just saying.,.......

Ok, just kidding. Good job on spotting the spearhead that most men (and women) would have mistaken for a rock. Obviously, your sisters are the MOST proud of you.
