[QUOTE="BCMAG2, post: 3084261, member: 60396"] Two years ago my 62 year old wife shot a raghorn on opening day of Idaho’s rifle season. Mostly level terrain, and a little over a mile behind the gate, which is about as good as it gets for public access elk hunting in the Idaho panhandle. The problem was that it was unseasonably hot under a bright sun. We hiked back to the gate to get the game cart out of the truck. The temps were in the mid 70s and it was only 10 am. I walked to a nearby farmhouse and asked the lady if she had a teenage son. As luck would have it, there was a lanky 17 year old sitting on the couch. He agreed to lend a hand. With both of us pushing on the game cart, we had both halves of that bull loaded into the back of my truck in about an hour, although I admit we were both sweating and breathing heavy by that time. I handed the kid $100 for his troubles and he was all smiles. As we drove home to hang the bull in our meat cooler, my wife took the words out of my mouth when she said, “That was the best $100 we ever spent”. [/QUOTE]
