If I could only find a good job and a affordable place in wisdom…

Awesome trip for yall! Congrats.

Congrats! I kick myself repeatedly for not applying for cow tags in year past when the draw odds were good and the units around me allowed cow harvest. I’d be shocked to see cow harvest again in northern Idaho in my lifetime

 

[MThuntr]

Congrats! That's a big ol cow!

[JLDemo]

Looks like a great time! I can only hope to be zooming around the mountains with a moose tag at that age.

My Dad, at age 79 decided to burn his points for his 3rd Montana Shiras. He decided to apply for a cow tag, which at age 79 is probably a good idea, as buying green bananas can be risky.

We set up the wall tent near Wisdom, had a nice comfortable camp.

My brother came down Monday night to join us.

We saw quite a few moose, but all bulls for the first couple days

Saw other wildlife as well...decent bull elk, actually saw a fair few elk.

Other wildlife.

Went back this morning to a spot that looked promising. Found a dry cow and that was that. Was really fun to see some country I hadn't seen since I worked in Wisdom in 1992.

Dad's moose.

Congratulations

More to the story...

We were cutting up Dad's moose yesterday and I went to lift a hind quarter off a meat hook. Heard and felt a nice snap in my bicep/elbow....I'm thinking tendon tore off the bone near my elbow.

Headed to orthopedic surgeon tomorrow to see WTF.

I'm going elk, sheep, and deer hunting either way, so they better figure it out.

What a pain in the ass...

Congrats to your pops.
It took over 2 months in a splint for my tendon to fix itself and that was just a finger. Pain in the ass is an understatement.
