On the hunt...for Big Elk. This is the 2nd year that Ronald has ventured out to Colorado to hunt Elk. This year Ronald and John were joined by Carlos and Julian for a 10 day hunt at San Juan National Forest (Sig Creek) in Colorado. On the 1st day, Ronald shot an elk ...unfortunately it was no where to be found. Most of the days were spent hiking, hunting and eating really good food provided by their very own professional cook, Julian.
By the 4th day, Ronald had experienced intolarable altitude sickness. John took Ronald to the Durango Medical Clinic where Ronald was diagnosed with pulmonary edema and advised not to return to camp. Ronald is very stubborn especially if it is going to interfere with hunting. Thankfully, the doctors would not release Ronald until he got a hotel room in town for 1 night.
The following day the doctor released Ronald to go back to camp with a tank of oxygen. After all the disappointment and set backs, Carlos found Ronald's elk - this made Ronald very happy.
They all returned home safely and Ronald has fully recovered from the pulmonary edema. The elk horns are hanging in the garage and Isabel has an elk teeth necklace (the front teeth on an elk are made of ivory).
