2021 elk/bear hunt
Trapper Rob:
Good luck Clint. I was out there hunting about 35 years ago it's beautiful out there.

I was in the San Juan Mountains in 2006 and again in 2010 with Kenneth Gorman(Little John). Kenneth invited me out and we had a blast even though the elk didn't cooperate. Being an East Coaster just seeing and experiencing the Southwestern Mountains was awe inspiring. On my first trip out there I sprained my ankle pretty badly a few days in and Kenneth had to hike out 2 miles and 1000' in elevation, drive 2 hours back to his house and load up horses to come back in to haul my butt out. He left at day break and got back about sunset. Even after that Kenneth invited me back out in 2010 for another hunt. We heard a few elk in the distance but never close enough for a shot. I did, however have a wolf within 25 yards of me. What a thrill that was.
Even at 71 years old, I'd go back in a heart beat if I had the cash to do so. If you've never seen the Mountain West, you owe it to yourself to try to get out there.
Don't forget the pics, Clint.

It's been a big day. Started off with bacon and eggs. Then we climbed a steep mountain slope and scouted around the flat top. We went back to camp in time for a wind storm. You could see the wall of dust coming for 20 minutes. We had 50 mph wind for about an hour. The tents held up OK. We all held on to my big dome shelter to keep it from blowing away. It took a little damage but luckily I brought duct tape. After the storm passed we sat the water holes and my friend shot a bear. It was an old saw taken with a selfbow. We just had burgers for dinner. What a great day!

That’s great Clint. Hope you both have more great days and enjoy the adventure.
