HuntElk4fun, Thanks for the input! When you book a hunt like this you are really working in the dark. You try to do as much research as possible but there is always that uncertainty in the back of your mind about what kind of guy you will be dealing with. It's good to here he is a "good ole boy"! As far as being in shape, I have been working out for the past 5 years to be in exceptional shape for this hunt, if and when I could book it. My only problem is the altitude. I live at 600' elevation. Not many hills around here! I'll keep working hard though. Thanks again!
