termanilly ill elk tag units 251,328,329, and 335
« on: October 21, 2015, 10:01:04 PM »
My dad was diagnosed with kidney cancer about 3 years ago and it's dwindled him down to a fraction of his former self. After numerous radiation therapy and new treatments it's really starting to take a toll on him and he's been having more bad days than good. So about three months ago I found out that the department of fish and game have a tag for people that are terminally ill and within six months of hospice. So sure enough my dad made a few phone calls and they gave him a any elk tag and he has until the end of November to fill it. He's going to the colockum tomorrow and my son and I will be joining him on Friday. I don't know who's more excited my dad or me , my dad hasn't ever shot an elk, not from lack of trying, so this will probably be his first and last elk so I'm hoping for a bruiser but I know my dad would be happy with a cow. I will keep you guys posted.
