True to his word, 3 weeks later Blake and his family arrived in Gillette. Although our spirits were high, the barriers in front of us were staggering: A one-legged boy, just out of the hospital sporting aluminum crutches; no road hunting allowed where we knew the elk were; and we had to walk and stalk on public land. Add to that the fact Blake wanted only a 6x6 bull-no exceptions. A tall order for sure, but Blake was determined to succeed.
I haven't read every single post in this thread and really didn't wnat to respond to it but..... but did manboy read the story and the part quoted above. This may have been a private land hunt and he shot the bull from a dirt road it certainly doesn't sound like he was hunting in a fenced area.
Sounds to me that he was hunting fair chase elk on a private ranch sourounded by public land. Also sounds like he did a fair ammount of walking and stalking for a cancer patient with only one leg.
Manboy you need to get a life and people like you will get what is coming to you some day inone way or another. I hope it is many times as bad for you personally as it was for this kid to loose his leg.
