[QUOTE="102, post: 5575326, member: 1462"] Thanks guys. I thought Mr. Simms did a fine job of capturing the essence of that experience. I had bowhunted Elk in Colorado twice, and Wyoming once. DIY. After that last Wyoming trip the year before last, I think we had decided that we simply lived too far away from those states to stack the odds in our favor trying to keep up with where the elk were in the areas we wanted to hunt. The scouting time was simply too difficult, and expensive, logistically. And now that I have physically stood over a dead, mature, bull, we all realized packing one out of those western mountains could very easily WRECK a 65 year old body at least to the point where the risk of missing the entire deer season would be a serious threat. I, like many other Tennessee deer hunters (as well as non-resident hunters), have automatically put my application in for that elk tag since it started. I NEVER even gave it a thought that I might get drawn. Seriously, never. When the head of Tennessee Elk Biologists Dr. Brad Miller called (the day after my buddy watched the live stream) I had to ask him where the property was. I honestly had never considered it. TWRA out did themselves. I have never seen such a helpful group of professionals. [/QUOTE]
