Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting when all of your hard training pays off

Just a couple of thoughts:

First of all, next time I have a 6 point bull elk on the ground and need help packing it out you will receive a text from my Garmin inReach device!!!

The Bob Marshall Wilderness ("The Bob") has been on my list for a long time to do as a summer backpack trip. I have read so many articles and it just seems like a magical place with parts that are still quite remote.

With regard to your age let me give you some encouragement: Cycling is one of my passions. I love to ride, and the other day I was on one of my favorite routes and I was excited because my Strava app was showing that I was making record time (for me). Out of nowhere, this bike goes flying past me going WAY FASTER than I could pedal. It was a 75 year old totally grey bearded BEAST of a man. He waved as he whizzed past and gave me some silly little stupid smile that made me mad.

I got home at the end of the ride and walked through front door and my wife asked,"How did you do?" and I told her I had broken my personal record for best time and she said you don't seem too happy about it. I told her, "In the middle of my best ride time ever I got SMOKED by a 75 year old man." It still hurts when I think about it. Age is no barrier.

yeah it's a place I would definitely keep on your list of places to go; there are areas (mainstem waterway trails mostly) that get some traffic during the summer, but there are lots of places that see hardly a soul

that my friend is both funny AND encouraging!

Awesome looks like a great time.
