But that doesn't mean there were none. but that is probably why i didn't post it last year. I have a bad knee that gives me big troubles at times. well this was one of those times. but first let me point out befor some of you put me down. yes this site is for people that DIY but most of you maybe all of you have some one to go with and help with scouting, glassing, and packing out. so you are not DIY. But i am on my own. so with no bull elk yet at the age of 77 i decided to go with an outfitter. Well just after i had sent him my first payment i slipped on a wet rock and twisted my bad knee. well that put me on crutches for a while and i was beginning to think i was not going to be able to go on this hunt. well it eventually got well enough to go but still couldn't walk that far or fast or down hill without pain. wife had some health issues als but told me to go anyway. well when i got there a day early and took a ride thru the area we were so-pose to be hunting and saw nothing i was getting worried. But the next day they assured me i would get my Elk.the first evening i called home to see how the wife was doing and got no answer. I tried calling many times without getting an answer. luckely i harvest my elk on the second day because i finally found out that my wife knew she was going to have to go to the hospital the day i left and knew i wouldn't go if she had told me. so as soon as i found out i had the Elk prepossessed and headed home. Unfortunately that hospital stay wasn't enough, she past away 9 months later. we were madly in love for 57 years. will show pics when i find out where they went sell phone pics only.
