Anyone hear from Clint...

...and how his first elk hunt is going? I remember mine from '06 and '10 and how exciting it was just to be out west.

I don't do facebook any more. I guess we'll hear all about it when he gets back.

Plenty. Little turd has service up there. He saw one elk so far, but lots of nice country. Says he is getting a new tent when he gets back, the wind really pounded on his Coleman.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Thanks for the update, Pearlie. It is awesome country out there especially for us in the Eastern Woodlands and Mid West.

Yeah my name is on a group text and it seems to ding every 5 minutes. Worse than being at work ...

There was a mite of wind on the western slope!  Got a big fire north of where I think he is.  Storms have moved east, though, but somewhat cooler tomorrow.  More storms maybe Wednesday.

Looking forward to hearing all about it. My little brother and sisters in law are out there now to. Have gotten a few pictures from them but haven't heard anything in awhile now. Sure is beautiful county. Really would like to get out there sometime.

I got a PM from Clint last night. Sounds like he's having a great time and a great adventure.  :OK

Here's some images Clint has taken during his adventure. The man is having wonderful time and appreciative of the fitness he achieved that's permitting him to have this great time.

Just getting ready to move through the high country will get you in good shape!  It is a bit of a challenge even for those of us who live 5,000 ft above sea level or more.  The higher you go, the thinner the air, like about 50% here on the Front Range to about 70% at 9,000-10,000 ft!  So less oxygen and harder to breathe efficiently.  Doesn't affect younger folks as much if they are in good shape. We mature (lol) folks tend to take it very easy when we go higher!  Clint looks like he dropped about 50#! For this adventure!

When I first met him about 2 a.m. somewhere in the dark at Pappy's place he was about as easy to go around as he was to go over.  I am plumb tickled that he has gotten seriously fit and trim, he has done himself and his family a great service. The man has earned this hunt and I wish him nothing but good!
