[QUOTE="2Rope, post: 1704969, member: 89234"] It would depend on your ability to ride, anybody can hang a leg on each side, but riding alone in high country takes a good seat. I cowboy and team rope but there are a lot of horses out there that I won't get on, a spoiled horse is almost as much a problem as a bronc. I would use a horse to get to my hunting area, hobble and tie him (if he's hobble broke) and hunt on foot. I've seen a lot of elk from the saddle but getting off and getting your rifle and securing your horse and then getting away to get a shot is usually a loosing proposition. As far as shooting from horseback, you will be lucky to hit a barn at 100 yards and then be ready for a bronc ride! Horses that you can shoot off of are few and far between. Make sure you have insurance, horses are born looking for a place to get hurt! I'm no expert, just a cowboy with a lot of years of experience. I would use his horse, just be realistic about your ability and expectations. [/QUOTE]
