Hey guys, I'm from Central Wa, my family was born and raised in the Yakima Valley. I've put a few posts up in the past but nothing to create many relations which I hope doesn't backfire on this! Now to my question. I'm looking for a place up around Spokane that is easy access, maybe even easy pickings, for my 83 year old grandfather. He is a vet. And a gold glove at that. He is still incredibly strong but can't quiet hike like he used to be able to even 4 or 5 years ago. Being as he's slowing down he hasn't been able to harvest an animal these few years.
He called me this past week and asked if I knew anywhere to go elk hunting that is easy going but still have chances. So we went. And go figure we were about 12 hrs to late because at day light walking in there were two guys searching for elk they had stuck the night before. It was cool being there when they found. Grandpa being the awesome man he is asks "think we should go help em?" I could see more guys coming to help them and suggested we just take it easy and keep going. So we did. Real easy matter of fact. We walked about a mile in 3 hours.
I knew the old man was slowing down but not that much. 3 years ago he was doing back country fishing trips still! So when I noticed this I got to thinking how important it's gonna be to get out with him while he still can. (Not saying he won't be able for years to come but you never know)
So I'm here to ask your guys help on getting him a late season archery deer! Wether it be a doe or buck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
