[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 502674, member: 505"] Oliver, It will have to be next year because hunters have to apply in January and that has passed. The trade is the group chips in and pays for my horse rental. Last time I talked to him he said he would rent me horses for $500 each. So 3-4 guys chip in that is not much. Basically just offering to help some guys out and give me a chance to get in there at least one more time before I get to old. Right now I am still in excellent hunting shape and can hang in there with about anybody. Ask the guys that went to Alaska with me last year. But at my age things can start going downhill fast and I want to see some of my old stomping grounds again not only here at home but all over the west. So I thought I would offer a group a bargain and help me out at the same time. At your age it would be fantastic country to learn because it will be there with good hunting for many years to come. That area is sacred and completely off limits politically to any proposal to change it. You could hunt it for many years and take many good bulls out of there once you spent a trip learning the ropes a bit. I am taking a couple of younger hunting friends into the greys river country this year on horseback to show them some hotspots for big mulies for the same purpose.
