Maybe you should try hunting a different animal? Do-it-yourself elk hunting just below timberline from an elk camp back in the woods?


My preferred hunting the last decade has been DIY elk hunting at 11,500 feet in SW Colorado. I'm not a trophy hunter. This hunt is challenging in various ways, most particularly the physical effort involved. It has many rewards in addition to the desired killing of the animal -- camaraderie in elk camp with my partners, beautiful high mountains, the pleasure of a traditional elk camp with a wood stove heating a canvas wall tent. When I get too old for this -- I'm 61 now -- I'm giving thought to returning to pronghorn antelope hunting. Or maybe I'll just try to bring younger people along to hunt and sit back in camp rather than hunting myself.
