[QUOTE="Donneric, post: 2972447, member: 116865"] [I]I’m 66 and hunt elk not to far from the continental divide in SW Montana. I do have horses but don’t hunt every time with them. If I am not with the horses I hunt those areas after the cold arrives. I do not like having to hump hard on account of the weather. A hind qtr with the trotter still attached is 63-65 pounds on a cow, 70-74 on a bull from my experience. I don’t bone in the field and have never dragged an elk. I take it easy it’s four trips. Lions and bears whatever. On returns I carry a 357 revolver with hard cast 180’s on my belt for noise and blasting dirt and gravel etc. and a 44 shoulder rig loaded with my “wrist twisters” for the dirty business. To be honest I am in good shape. If terrain has blowdowns and deep gullies I steer clear. If elk are in there I’ll wait for them to get up and leave when it starts getting dark. And yes I do hunt alone. Me boys have both married and moved along. One last note, fat cow beats poor bull any day of the week.[/I] [/QUOTE]
