No I didn't disappear, although sometimes I wish I could.  :chuckle: We saw a few elk but couldn't get a shot. I'm kinda limited with arthritis in my ankle. Sometimes it's not to bad and I can walk ok, like in the summer when it's warm. Right now with the cold damp weather, like every hunting season, they ache most all the time. I hate to say it but I mostly road hunt. I look for clearcuts and glass early/late. If I find good sign then I will walk into the timber a ways and sit during the day on a good game trail. The elk I saw where off the road and by the time I could get out and get off the road, they were gone. I have to go see my cardiologist due some abnormal heartbeats and some slight chest discomfort, so I'm not sure how much I will be able to hunt. It doesn't appear to be serious, it's just a precautionary thing.
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I'm not!

picked up our last cow today. With the wind and rain coming, I was extremely happy. It was also our biggest one. I shot her in a clear cut 267 yrd shot in the boiler room. She never took a step

    Wish I could Ripper, but I took 3 days vacation filling my tag and am back to work today. Once I figure out how to send a private message, I know a couple of areas that might fit you bill

Ripper,
I might be able to come along to lend a hand Wednesday.
Where would you be traveling from and to?

Feel free to shoot me a pm OK?

Got mine 1/13 & packed out today. No hoof rot. We were parked in a small clearcut that we saw elk a couple days before & they returned to same spot & shot her at 3:30. Good Luck!!  :tup:
