Gee all my fond memories of the elk huntin' I did in the area of Chama, NM are ruined now that I've been told they were the easy kind. I hunted private property with a shirttale relative of the owners. Us bein' the youngest had to push 'em out to the old timers who had their ambush sites named![:-] I thought livin' at a hydro electric plant some 5000' in elevation was pretty high, but where we hunted were twice that, and it seemed like hard work to a twenty something who'd lettered in 4 sports in all three years of high school.
Good on you Blake!
