My Colorado elk hunt thoroughly kicked my azz. It brought me to the realization that I am too old, fat, and wore out for such. My knees are shot and it took me twice as long going uphill and four times as long going downhill. I did manage to get a 5x5 bull in one of my favorite spots. The deer kicked my azz by their lack of presence. In 8 days I didn’t see one buck that I would shoot at. A couple of guys shot bucks that I was thinking “really?” While telling them “nice buck”. I had a scrawny racked 3x3 walk right up close begging me to shoot him, but I declined.
In summary, I’ve got a long overdue orthopedic appointment Nov 30. Happy Trails
