A wise man once told me, "It's not something you get over, it's something you learn to live with". Just know that he will be with you and try to enjoy the hunt. Good luck.

oh man sorry to hear that. That is some bad news no one should have to hear.. Just a thought. If your dad is cremated maybe you can still take him along or spread his ashes there. Sounds like he woulda liked that.

Dblstks, I think its safe to say, a lot of us were pulling for you on your hunt. How'd did your hunt go? Tag soup or not, would love to hear how you're doing and of your experience to the Eagle Caps. My dad and I bowhunt the Eagle Caps each year and it can be as therepuetic as it is grueling, but nontheless, a great place to be.
Hope you had a great experience and are doing well.

I am very sorry for the delay on this and probably is a little weird that I now send a reply. But life happens and I have finally been getting back into the forum.
As for this 2014 trip we came back without meat. But lots of memories and I even was able to recover one of the trail cams my dad had set up. Pretty crazy to find it out there. Like I had mentioned I was able to get some notes on the location and happened across it. Some pics on it but nothing major.
I did get a shot on a nice little 5x5 but the shot was low. Closest I had ever come to getting an arrow into a big game animal so to say the least it was exciting.
That country out there is breathtaking! I would highly recommend doing it if possible.
For a follow up as well, we went back out the next year (2015) and my hunting partner was able to arrow a nice bull. I think it was a 6x6. Best part was, he shot him about 100 yards off the trail. We carried the meat to the trail so the ponies could come pick it up.
I would go back yearly if the budget could afford it. The price is not cheap but the memories of chasing bugling elk is something you cannot put a price tag on. Hopefully I can get back out there.
Oh, and the Del Sol Outfitters is a quality group. Nothing but good things to say about them.
Thanks for reading and sorry again for the delay.

Thanks for the follow-up. Glad you went back in 2015. The Caps are awesome. I was thinking about what it would be like to have your experience. Certainly sad to lose a father. For me, it would make the area he had just been in sacred or something like that.
