Elk Hunt - Consignment #36/80

Edition Date: 2010
Artist: Roy Henry Vickers
Medium: Serigraph

Edition Size: 80

Our family eats mostly wild meat all year, and this requires that I hunt for elk every fall. It has been a tradition for me to drive to the Kootenay country to harvest elk each year. Last fall, after a good day hunting, we were heading back to camp when we saw a big old pine tree etched against a gorgeous sunset. I knew this would inspire a creative idea one day.

As I took different photos of the tree, it looked like the branches were many antlers of the great bull elk. It was so inspiring I could hear the bugle of hundreds of bulls over the many years spent in the wild enjoying the sights and sounds of the hunt. 

I think the moon in late September will be the Moon Of The Bugling Bull Elk.
