I'm 58 and have killed my share of elk, Didn't keep track, but have lots of great memories.
I got horses 15 years ago because I got tired of packing elk and deer out on my back and the FS closed down so many trails to motorized vehicles. One of the side values of horses, is that I cstarted packing in a wall tent, stove, cots and better food. We still pack a wall tent, stove and cots in each fall and enjoy the annual hunt.
My dad is retired from hunting and I wouldn't dare let him get on any of my horses. But I come home and share photos and stories of the hunt with him.
In addition to the elk and mule deer, We have successfully harvested several Bighorn sheep, moose and recently a buffalo. I've hunted in Utah, Idaho, Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming and Alaska.
