haha I'd bet the farm that I had been in rouger terrain this year.. Maybe not at that high of elevation, but some of the drainages I had hunted after a big 7x9, were unbelievable.. Literally grabbing sticks to pull myself up the sides of the drainages and then back and forth.. This elk was in easy terrain no doubt, but I have no trouble getting wayyyyy off the beaten path after an elk.. I'm young and in awesome shape so why not
