Broadmoor Canyon is no secret, anyone who wants to go there can book an elk of his choosing, be done with the shooting in a day or so and have plenty of time left over to smoke cigars and tell stories. And have his elk and horns all packaged nicely for a nominal extra fee. No need to even get your hands bloody.

I can't speak for the rest of these old yellers, but personally, if I wanted to pay someone for a bull I'd have done it already. And make no mistake, I'm not yelling or screaming, Jorge and his crew had a great time and that's what they came for. I like to tell stories as much as the next guy.

I just object to it being called hunting when the animals are raised in a pen and paid for according to horn size. And having a "guide" by my side for the primary purpose of making sure I didn't shoot a bull that I hadn't paid for.



A wise man is frequently humbled.
