I'm 59 years old, I could be in better shape than I am, working on it. If there is anymore Elk hunting in my future and at this point in time its slim- its going to be from a back of a horse. And not by myself anymore- I learned that lesson on my last solo Moose hunt in 2005. When the time comes it comes, for some its sooner for others its later. At this stage of my life, White Tails are plenty, I can shoot 8 a season if I so choose. Two is more than enough. Now If I ever can get to retire- a little off the grid place with plenty of Sitka Black Tail Deer and good fishing nearby would suit me just fine. There is no shame in hiring an outfitter to do all the grunt work and supple of the stuff that goes into a proper elk hunt. Makes good sense if you don't live in Elk country or know the Area you are going to hunt.
