[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 163831, member: 10"] Joecool, I am trying to talk myself into booking a hunt for Dad for a bull next fall. He hunted all his life for elk and only shot one good bull and a couple cows here in Montana. The bull was a 320 class 6x6. In the late 70s I can remember that dad had to sell off all his whitetail racks and his only elk rack to buy us three kids groceries. We were pretty tight back then. When us kids were born, he stopped elk hunting because of the time and money cost, mom and dad just could not afford it and take care of us as well so you know what went out the door. Still went deer hunting around here, meat was cheap compared to beef, that was the main reason other then we loved to do it. I can remember taking my lever action BB gun whitetail hunting with my dad when I was about 6 years old. I can also remember every single deer I killed from my first one mainly because my dad was there for most of them until I got out of highschool. Grew up not knowing much about all the material crap in this world, only that time in the field hunting and fishing and camping with Family was the most important times in my life growing up. Hell, if it were not for my dad I would not be doing what I do today so I owe him much more then I can ever repay. I have built him several rifles and he for a man that owned an open sighted Springfield 1903 '06 with the mil stock cut off to sporter length all his life, they are like lamborginies to a guy used to an old chevy truck. He is starting to get up on years abit, starting to play with that 70 year old range. I would like nothing more then for him to grab onto a set of 400" elk horns and know they were his and he would not have to sell them off like his first rack. I guess the phrase, "Talk myself into it" is not what I ment to say, I have already done that. Just with the little one here now, have to be a bit more restraint with $$ then I did before. Still, hopefully in the next year or two I will have a report with Dad taking a good elk. Growing up there was never a time that Dad did not take us fishing or hunting when we wanted if he did not have work or something other to do. Guess what I am saying is that I can never remember a single time that dad said no to use kids to head out and do anything with us because he was tired or just did not want to do it. That never happened that I remember. Not that we were spoiled, hardly the case, he just knew what was important in life. Hope I can do that as well for my kids. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
