My step Dad use to go out Elk hunting every year in the San Louis Valley, ( where I lived in the 80's ) But then one year he got high altitude poisoning. So he called it quits. He was 65 when that happened. He has been back out there and he didn't have any problems, but at 72 years old he figured he better quit hunting. They use to take mules and there 4 Wheeler's. I got a small 5x4 bull when I lived out there in 81. I never got a chance to go for mule deer. Some day I will... I love Colorado.....
They are going to be putting a pain pump in me in the next couple weeks. Then its a 4 to 6 weeks of recovery. I told my wife, they better hurry up and get this thing put in because I'm not missing bow season, wont happen...lol.. But when that pump is put in, my pain should FINALLY!!! go away....
