Quite the old codger here.  Three elk in the last four years; wishing him many more birthdays and more elk hunts!  :tup:

Inspirational.  It puts into perspective some folks who are ready to give up hunting in OR and WA because it's not as good/easy as it was in the good ol days.  He just keeps at it and enjoys everyday of it.
