Just got back from an elk hunt in Colorado (my home). What a good time. Didn't put any food on the table but the time spent in the woods and with friends and family members was good. Can't think of a better place to be but in the Colorado mountains. Had lots of fun, laughs and mountain air. What a relief to be away from the city and all the negative news about shootings, robberies and car wrecks.
Been hunting elk for some 40 years and haven't figured the beast out yet. Just when you think you know what they are going to do, they change their patterns just enough to throw you off and keep you coming back. Guess if it was easy it wouldn't be a sport. Probably wouldn't hunt again if I knew what was going to happen the next hunt. We've been lucky the last couple years being blessed with some elk meat. This year all we can do is clean the ol' Model 70 and put her away until it's time to site her in for the big hunt next year.
This year we'll have to settle for store bought meat and memories of the hunt. Every bite of beef will keep our taste buds wondering when the next morsel of elk steak will come.
