(hard for an old man),
HEY! I resemble that remark...
Actually, I did pretty well even though I'm not a spring chicken anymore, I guess... I covered close to 30 miles of real estate while I was there according to my GPS log, and a lot of that was at a snail's pace... I was always the last one back to camp each morning (afternoon) and evening...
It just wasn't meant to be this year, but man... talk about a bunch of CLOSE calls, and with a couple pretty nice bulls, too, in addition to some big, fat cows. I've got a bunch more wallows and watering holes marked as waypoints, and I know the mountains out there even better.
I'll be back.
Thanks for the thread, and all the well-wishers.
