[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1561927, member: 75451"] Only since 1989! I’m blessed, she loves to be out in the country, and hates(refuses) to be left at home. For many years, prior to our marriage, hunting put meat on the table for her family. A successful hunt, was having 2 cow elk on the ground, several hours into the season....knowing there was meat in the freezer for the year. As the kids are raised and money (food) a bit more easily obtained....we now hunt as much for pleasure as for need. She was asked once, years ago from an anti hunting female coworker, “How can you look into those eyes of a beautiful deer, and then shoot it”? My wife’s answer, “ I’m not looking at the eyes, I’m looking where I want to put the bullet”! We may be hunting anything from varmints to moose. We used to hunt much harder (more physical) than we do now, age is starting to limit the miles and terrain, that we used to just accept, as part of hunting. While we are not money’d people (only one guided hunt.....her Bighorn sheep), we’ve actually done pretty well. I’ve seen her take shots, from just a few yards to over 400 yards. When we were younger and in better shape, she’s helped backpack more elk and moose back to the truck, than many hunters have had the opportunity to see while hunting. Over the years, we could have killed much more game, but I resisted the easy ones.....hoping for the trophy. Knowing that one day, the hunts will be a thing of the past....but a few trophies on the wall, will help carry those those memories with us to our grave. Our fantasies were Alaska and Africa, but age and finances render those not likely! But the hunts we have experienced will forever be enjoyed as memories! We need to quit passing on shots,and shooting more....the hunting days are fast coming to an end! memtb [/QUOTE]
