There are some important perks for me during elk season. One is a quiet house all day, but that can happen other times as well. The more delightful extras are things like the chicken curry prepared by one of the hunters last night, and homemade clam chowder from coastal razor clams the night before that. Add to the meal artisan bread made in a Dutch oven that arrived to accompany the chowder. Tonight we are having homemade enchiladas courtesy of another hunter's wife who is off spending time with her mom for her over ninety birthday~ a worthy annual recognition. The other fine thing that usually occurs during elk season evenings is acoustic concerts in the living room. What's not to love about hunting season

even if no success with hunting to date.
