One of my best friends died last week. Bob Elkins 86 went to hunt were all the bucks are 40plus. Bob was a vetran of Iwo Jima he told me of the six best friends who went through basic training together he was the only one who made it off the beach.Bob was a B&C scorer and we scored many great trophies together.Bob himself killed over 50 blacktails over 20 inches and probably 20 muledeer over 30.All of these were done without a guide. He died just days before he was going to go on a muledeer hunt in old Mexico with his son Jack who is an outfitter there.Bob and I were talking one day about how tough it was to kill a true 30 inch muledeer, and he said I'm going to go try and kill one, he killed 3 in 3 years all after the age of 75, something to think about boys.There has been many people that have hunted blacktails all there lives that have never seen a 20 inch blacktail,let alone kill over 50 of them. R.I.P. Bob, hope there all over 40 up there. Ron
