For both elk and deer, accompanied by my 20-year old and a goodly number of reliable old friends. Don't know how many of these particular "adventures" remain for me as 1: Colorado has seriously monetized "big game hunting", 2: my back isn't what it used to be, and 3: productive hunting real-estate is getting ever-harder to access here. As a further complication, all my elk hunting partners are becoming ever-more geriatric and unavailable because of other commitments (familial usually). We either need to find new blood, better medication, or fatter wallets.
Lloyd, I am, with purpose, looking for new blood. My guys are aging out and even with my eye issues, I'm not ready to pack it in. Found one good guy in his mid 30's and going next week with another who is about 50.
