I took my 9 year old special needs son camping in a tent for the frist time last week. We went in upper Michigan (lower Pennisula). The whole thing was to get away from the rat race for a few days. My son has been camping before but only in a motorhome, which he loves. I have been up there before and have seen some ekl, I was hoping we would see some again, we did. There was a total of 5 bulls and 8 cows we seen. The best one was when we turned a corner on a 2 track there was a 5x5 bull standing right in the middle of the 2 track. I slamed on the brakes an stoped about 20 feet from the elk, wow what a view for my son. there are not to many 9 year olds out there that can brag that they have seen a elk in the wild that close. I hope this pic turned out ok. My son is the one in the center. The other two boy are his cousins, they went with us also.
