    GETTIN OLD.......

    I think that one of the best compliments someone has said about me was while I was in South Africa. After a long day of hunting my PH who was in his early 40's told me that he hopes that he is in as good of shape as I am, just before I turned 62 on the safari

    GETTIN OLD.......

    As for hunting shortly after a joint replacement, I have a friend who drew a cow elk tag a few years ago. And yep, he needed to have one of his hips replaced about a week before the hunt. Instead of crying the blues and turning in his tag another friend took him out and set him up in a...

    GETTIN OLD.......

    I was sitting in a bar once talking to a gentleman that was around 20 years older than I was at the time. He made of of the best statements that I have ever heard concerning his health. He said that if he knew that he was going to live to be this old he would of taken better care of his body...

    altitude pills

    I'd just leave the alcohol alone until you get off of the mountain. It is one of the main things that they tell you to stay away from or use in extreme moderation if you have problems with altitude. There will be times to celebrate once off of the hill.

    You could just as easy loose your life to altitude sickness too. Altitude sickness is not something to take lightly.

    Somewhere on the coast I would bet. We did have one called Master Bate and Tackle, I am not sure if they are still in business or not. They used to sell a lot of hats and T shirts. We also have a Beaver Liquors that has some great T shirts and hats along with bumper stickers.

    Magazine cut off

    I used one all the time when I was hunting geese and a flock of ducks would show up. I had 4 buck loaded up for the geese but would want to drop down in size to #2 or 4's for the ducks. If you don't mind shooting the same load at the birds then there is no need for one, but it sure was...

    I figure if I could hold off for 15 or 20 more years I would be happy to give it all back.

    Uploading pictures

    On my African safari we took over 4000 photos between 3 of us. I have all of them on disk and they are all too large for any form out there. Even uploading them to a photo hosting site they stay to large to post here or elsewhere. I spent around 4 days going through the ones that I wanted to...

    How do you drink your beer when you are laying on your side? Do you use a straw or a siphon pump?

    Colorado Left Over Tag List

    I know that in years past that I have seen tags that take 10+ and even 15+ points to draw end up on the leftover tag list. And I have even raised a stink at some meetings but they just shrug their shoulders and say "that's the system that we work with"
