To a flat lander kid headed out West with bow, black powder and center fire smokeless rifle, i remember Purgatory/San Juan, Uncompagre? Ellison Mtn out of Sleepy Cat/Meeker, all good tough hunts, nothing on earth was harder for me than 31 miles mule backed in to The Thorofare, when you got there, the work had just began, primitive camp being that close to Yellowstone, i became quite handy with a big cross-cut saw on that hunt, easiest by far was with my old buddy EddyBo in NM across the road from White Sands missile grounds, when i figured out my heart was going to catch up and that 6'6" 28 year old young man Wayne wasn't going to kill me chasing that group of bulls up the mountain the rest was cake.
