You are a blessed man…….very fortunate you can still get after it.
My plan is to go down kicking, as well.

Then add on a Wyoming or Oregon elk and three come pretty easy. So my calculations show i have 56 seasons behind me with an overage of over one elk a year. I am a hunter, and could care about horns, last year I had a either sex tag in Wyoming and shot the first nice fat cow I saw. A spike bull in NE Oregon also added to the pile. Idaho was a bust, as it was really hot and dry with lots of other hunters. I am also over 75 in good shape and can still pack out my own elk on my back, if necessary. Its getting harder but I am not going to give up.
