RE: I DREW A TAG!!!!!
Thanks everyone, I'm still bouncing off the wall. I have been planning this hunt for the past 5 years. My son was a long distance runner in high school so I thought I would train with him with the ultimate goal of getting in shape to hunt elk. I have now run 3 marathons and am on a self-induced weight training, running program. I am in excellant shape for a 45 year old. The altitude is what I'm worried about. I'll deal with that when the time comes I guess. This is a rifle hunt with an outfitter in Unit 60 in the NW corner of Wyoming. I researched this alot and this is the type of hunt I wanted. It's a wilderness horseback hunt. The horseback hunt in itself will be well worth the money even if I don't score. Shooting an elk is secondary. Don't get me wrong, I want to shoot a large bull, but if it's not meant to be then the hunt will still be successful for me. I also picked this area due to the grizzly population. Believe me, I don't have a death wish, but that's what elk hunting is to me, the wilderness experience. The grizzly just adds to that experience!! Thanks for all the congrats. This site is awesome.
