I will sure try. Coming up on 81 years old. I have only missed two seasons since 1966. Hopefully Colorado will take pity on me and send me a ML cow elk tag.
I tagged a cow elk last year. Don't know how many more I can do. Good for you……stay at it! 👍 You’re doing way better than folks half your age! memtb

Sorry this is best pic I have ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/jjcZgXPj/EEDCFCF1-DA8-E-4518-8402-6-BA8351-F7-C70.jpg) He stuck a old straight 6x Leupold on it. It’s pretty nice. Has one gun shop off the rack scratch on left side of butt where they had it with other rifles out on the rack. Gunshop guy said it didn’t have a scope on it so it wasn’t worth as much as a rifle with scope. (No schidt! His exact words!). Good grief! Why can't I find gunshop guys like that! All the young folks want rifles now with plastic stocks, pistol grips, and big knarly bolt handles. Nothing against such rifles. There is something out there for everyone. Sure makes picking up the classic stuff much easier. 😊

I believe it’s a first year of production (1958?) .338!

I'm planning to drive 12 miles to try and put a cow's nose in the dirt.
It's a hard life, someone has to do it...... Bout where I am. I will see if the boy is interested. Stubble field cows don’t count. you're doing it wrong..... Stubble field cows are the only way. Especially when they’re less than 100 yrs from the truck and you have snow on the ground. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/X7n5LKWH/IMG-7370.jpg)

Hoping to go, still waiting to hear if I drew a tag.
Laws aren't preventative measures. In other words, more laws won't prevent gun crime from happening.

I live in Montana and still haven't shot one.
But if I showed up to the grazing association meeting where they draw for the either sex(landowner) Breaks elk tag I could win for sure. Only person left on the list who hasn't drawn.
If I had 26 days off work I might try to shoot a really big one.....lol
