So, George and I ran into each other shortly after I moved to Laramie 18 years ago while I was hunting elk in a general unit. I camped close to where he and his group have been hunting since the late 1960's and George and I have become pretty good friends.
He was bummed that he couldn't make it out to hunt over labor day with me, so we went out this morning.
We located a pretty good group of elk right at legal shooting light and started to make our way over to them. We didn't even get a third of the way over when we spotted 3 cows in a draw feeding. We put a short stalk on them and I had the privilege of watching the old master make a text book shot right at 200 yards on a 1.5 year old cow. Shot it with his 30/06 sporterized enfield and 165 grain partitions. George looked at his watch...6:50 AM. I apologized that it took so long for him to get his elk...he laughed. Had it back to the truck and on our way home by 9 sharp.
He does great for a guy 75 years old...he packed a front and all the rib, neck, and loins, I got the 2 hinds and the other front so we got out in one trip.
Fun, fun day and one I wont forget.
