Sometimes it takes years to find the right elk hunting partner.
Indeed. And sometimes things that did work stop working. It's not anyone's fault. life circumstances change. I don't mind that he went to wyoming antelope or mule deer hunting with other friends and I sure don't mind that he took his daughter elk hunting instead in another unit.
The part that I do mind is that in both cases he knew well in advance that he had other plans and didn't bother to tell me. I found out both times when I arrived at an empty elk camp 3+ hours drive from home without the gear necessary to do the hunt solo.
