[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 2277037, member: 94154"] One Thanksgiving day, I'm in the coastal range above Reedsport, OR, 2nd Elk Season. Kids were at the ex's, wife didn't want to prepare a feast - couldn't think of a better way to spend Thanksgiving. Five miles to the South, across the Umpqua river, there's ~300 head of elk on the elk preserve there, including a bull that looks like it will easily make Boone and Crockett. No general season hunting allowed there. I'm skunked, but don't care -- I've spent a day in God's country, listening to grouse drumming, watching quail pop up and rush off, even spooked five black tail. I hike to the top of the ridge where the logging road is, and up the hill comes an ancient F100. Guy stops, looks to be 70+, has a SxS with him. He's been grouse hunting all day, but hadn't had any luck. Offers me a ride. I'm an easy two miles from where I parked, so gladly accept. Spent the next fifteen minutes chatting. After he dropped me off, I realized, that's what I want to be like at his age. [/QUOTE]
