comerade,
Keith was NOT guiding a client. He was hunting with a local friend, primarily for meat on the last day of the season.
Somebody else mentioned this being a guided hunt as well. Must admit I am little baffled about how that can be inferred from the story.
JB- I was using my personal point of view.
In my 20's & 30's ( still will on occassion)I worked as an Guide for various outfitters and this instinct does not leave me.
It has been imprinted and if I go with others, I always default into this mindset. I want to help them .
I often annoy even myself so I hunt alone.
I have no clue what Elmer was like, and long shooting we know is a developed skill, I have just seen too many Elk missed at close range to believe a 600 yard shot is plausible. Many hunters could not hit a soccer ball at 200 yards without a sandbag. Most rifle's back then were 2" moa shooters( and many not )
My little old opinionated opinion.Cheers
