Hunter killed by elk

[toot]

at 66 you guy's are just kids still wet behind the ears! just wait till you enter the realm of the 76 ++year old's ? MOTHER MATURE has just about taken care of most things, eyes, joints, limbs, arthritis, internal organs, love life, and the list still goes on. but we OLD BUGGERS can still make SMOKE!!

Believe Clint Eastwood said it best, "Man's gotta know his limitations."

I have had 5 friends who all died at their deer lease from a heart attack. And they wondered why I did not hunt with them!

I say the same thing. bow hunting for elk and bear should be banned

Learn how to hunt with a bow, you'll be a MUCH better hunter. And try doing it stalking, not from a tree fort.

There was a tv show on one of the learning channels. It covered game wardens in Maine. One of the shows had the search for a hunter that hadn’t come home. Late in the night they secured the search to restart the next day.
The next day they restarted and found him, passed over under a tree.
My thought was ‘how lucky’

I rely like that scenario. I am even past the COOT STAGE!! I don't know what you call it? maby living on borrowed time??

I can kill any game animal on the planet except elephant or cape buffalo with this, common sense tells me to stick to deer, no dangerous game.

I wouldn't be out there without a handgun, in a decent caliber in the first place.

Used to carry a pistol if I was hunting left it off years ago.
Now if I was after grizzel bar I might want a mountain Howitzer behind me just in case. I give the game time to die and reload my gun before I go looking for the game.
