Next...how many elk have you dispatched?
At my age the trip to Africa and back, and the cold and discomfort of an elk hunt and camp about equal out.
Twenty-five years ago all things equaled out, but for different reasons.
Go hunt put-n-take RSA if it's your huckleberry. Others would rather hunt elk and have a freezer full of great meat; it's their huckleberry.
Telling anyone they're foolish for either proclivity is moronic.
