Default who is your hunting Mentor or Legend

My Mentors are by far my Father and Uncle. the most extrema hunters I know. just Elk alone they have taken combined some 65 plus bulls and still doing it today! My uncle is 75 and my Dad is 71 its rare that a mountain man makes it up there that long. Are Camp is at 10,000 feet and consist of a 20 man wall tent " fits about seven with gear and stove wood pile" a Koral ,big game pole, food lift in a spruce " to keep bears from getting are supplies" and so on. We do all the work no guides no hired help.Both men served in the military. My uncle was a Field Geologist during the 50's threw the 80's and has been in the most remote spots on the world doing exploration work. Some times he would be in a tent for more then three or four months at a time. " if your in the wilderness this is the guy you want with you" He is humble and a colorful, always good for a laugh and one who will never let camp down. My Father is much the same but he is a Elkoholic Bad . He is a true master on elk behavior and how to hunt them. His character is his strongest attribute His strength is unreal ,he can still dog most twenty year olds " he wont admit it". Both men together set the stage for a Honorable camp.
other hunters include
Steve Brewer, Jackson hole Wyo. Current#1 usa shooting champion andwho guided me threw my young years in the mountain.
"LIVER EATEN Johnson"Jeremiah Johnson" The real man not Robert"
