at 74 and somewhat damaged by a lifetime of rheumatoid arthritis, I'm one to drive my 4X4 to within 1/4 mile of a hunt area, walk with my rifle and home made shooting sticks to a spot that has served me well over the last ten years. I sit on the ground or a chair my hunting buddies set up for me and wait for the elk to come to a pond for water.....So far my elk numbers six and five of them cows. I'm lucky that the ranch forman brings out a tractor with a front end loader for field dressing and hauling the carcass to the ranch shed for hanging and boning out.
