[QUOTE="flyguy1, post: 2322315, member: 92595"] I have a true story about that. So, through some family connections, my friend agreed to take two guys from Maine into our elk camp. We were tagged out. They were in their late 80s, and said they couldn't walk much, and didn't expect to get an elk but wanted to go camp. Yep, buffalo plaid, Main Hunting Shoes (and a pox on Bean's for changing the name), and well-used 30/30s. The ride in for them was spectacular, and my buddy said they were just as happy as clams. Dumped a couple of feet of snow, so they sat around the tent, sipping whiskey and playing cards. Near the end of the trip, one of the guys went outside to take a leak, and there was a group of elk 80 or so yards away (not uncommon back then; we had a large hay supply and they would munch on it when we were not in camp even though it was suspended). They eased out of the tent, and dropped a cow and a raghorn. They went wild, and I'm sure that story was told many a time. [/QUOTE]
