Mtwarden. Are you an actual warden. We have a game warden here that would pass for your brother. Nothing bad meant. He is a good guy. was, Montana game warden for 24 years-retired now for 6 years (should say semi-retired as I'm working a gig for the USMS) must be a good looking guy this warden He is a relatively new warden. Maybe 25 going by looks. About 150 yards from our deer lease is a retired (warden are like police, they never truly retire) warden that has become a true friend of mine. Mr Bill is 87 years old and still chases poachers at night. He is the kind of Christian I try to be, but I often fall short. Thanks for your reply. I hope your workouts go well for you. I will try not to interrupt y'alls thread again. Good luck.

Nice. Hoping to be able to start walking (for exercise) in the flats soon. Hiking after that. Things have calmed down enough that I can tell where specifically I injured it: outside of left Achilles, about midway up the "rope". Theres a very tender swollen area there on the thing... must've partially torn it there. Guess I'll go glass-half-full and count myself lucky it basically held and didn't rupture like they can.

6.9 miles and 1244' gain this morning, walking my dog, along with a real nice 30-something couple. They dropped off their kiddos at school and met me at the trailhead. Such a nice morning! Good workout too. Hey! Who are those people following us up the hill? Rising sun still behind the ridge: We hiked to the top of a very cool earthen dam at an old mine site just out of town. Then wandered around for a bit, high up above town and then down, down, down. Averaged a little better than 3 mph, which is pretty good coping with a somewhat crazed bird dog. Good hike. I've been getting out a lot. Posting a little.

tough sledding today! 11 miles w/ a foot or more of snow for much of it and most of it crunchy I did find a meadow that had some fairly fresh elk tracks, probably feeding at night, but will give it another go tomorrow

Thank you Sir- no argument from me 9miles today; hit the same meadows from a different direction, much less arduous (less snow, not as steep a climb)- got their before daylight hoping they would linger a little, no such luck and the snow is too crunchy to try to track anything- so goes elk hunting

The two groups of elk I got into, in both cases I was on crunchy frozen ground and it was over before it began. They skedaddled before I saw them, when I was 80-100 yards away. They say a cow call can help; the elk might tolerate the noise if they think it's another elk. Dunno. Skeptical.
My bleepin' heel has improved but I seem to have reached a plateau of sorts. Still limping, can't really put power through it though at least now I can pretend...... can push lightly... Hoping to at least go for a walk this weekend but I'm not gonna until I can walk normally because all this walking ABnormally is really taking a toll on my other pieces 'n parts. I'd love to see imaging of the damage but I'm too cheap to pay for it since it doesn't really matter anyway.

It won't work very often but on the other hand, not much to lose in that situation.

Some years ago, I was waaay TF back in the top of a drainage and I found a bull; I know this because he jumped up and bugled when my boot caught on a dry branch crossing over a fallen tree. It snapped, I hear a crash then a bugle... JUST out of sight, of course, maybe 50-75 yards away... I froze and hoped for a shot as it moved up the hill. Never came... I've often wondered what would've happened if I'd tooted my cow call and just charged towards him. It's non-intuitive, but my buddy Jerry swears it can work. Elk hunting is a great way to build up one's "Tales of Woe" collection. Lots of if only's and shoulda coulda woulda's. Kenneth... that's not me. Go away.
