LAST EDITED ON Apr-06-13 AT 03:36PM (MST)[p]I am a long time follower and first time poster. Here are some pictures of my grandpas 2012 CWMU elk hunt. He got lucky and drew his second elk tag at the age of 82. A week before his hunt he was in the hospital with heart problems. He recovered quickly and was able to get the doctors permission to hit the hills. We had a great time and saw a lot of bulls. Finally on the third day of his hunt we called this great bull in. He shot it at seventy yards while sitting in his favorite lawn chair! it died less than five yards from the road. It was a great experience and it was awesome to have three generations of family in the woods.
