It was a beastie of a hike. The occasion was her fourth elk hunt. She has had three antlerless elk permits previous to drawing the bull tag. On those hunts, she brought cows home in two out of three attempts. Keddy was hunting for the bull with her husband Virtus, her brother Shad Jackson and a friend from North Dakota. She, her brother and the North Dakota resident all had permits. According to Keddy, the group watched the elk herd in the late afternoon on Friday. She said that her brother told them to put the elk to bed and he would go to camp and cook dinner. After the meal was eaten, the evening was spent laying out plans for an early start Saturday morning, Sept. 13. We left camp at 4 a.m. and hiked for. two hours, Keddy said. We got there before daylight and could hear the elk bugle. Her brother was leading the hike and kept motioning for her to come along faster. Behind, Virtus was also prodding her on. I thought we were going to walk right into the middle of the whole elk herd, Marcia said. There were elk like Id never seen before. When the hunters climbed up on a rock to look, they were about 250 yards from the elk. The men let her take the first elk, and when it was finished, all three had filled their permits. It was a really great experience to be able to hunt with my brother and Virtus, Marcia said. It was nice to have the hunt in common with my brother; he was raised in our family of three girls. -Keddyhad purchased an auxiliary archery permit that allowed her to hunt for two weeks earlier during that season. While afield with a bow, she said they took their daughters along and spent the Marcia Keddy poses with her for state tournament bull elk. six-poi- nt better part of a month camping and traipsing around the mountain looking for the right bull. When the rifle hunt came and it was time to get serious, Marcia said the kids had to stay home. Marcia said the guys were great after the hunt was over. I was very fortunate, she said. There were die three men with her and her brother called on three more of his friends to come and help them out. I carried two back packs and two rifles down the mountain and the guys took turns the meat and heads leap-froggi- down the hill, she said. Her bull and the one taken by the North Dakota hunter, were taken about 50 yards apart.
