Here's my tag story this year. I hunt elk with my friend who's a Lakota Indian. I'm 77 and he's 70 but he's still as strong as a bull. He even has all his hair! So, he helps me get the meat out. I can't get an elk out alone anymore. Even a deer will be a struggle.
I'll be using an Isaac Haines flintlock and he's be using a longbow he makes along with wood arrows he makes too. We're both a bit old school. Normally, he hunts the bow season and i'm in the muzzleloader season. They overlap, so we hunt together.
We both failed at getting elk tags this year. I got a doe muzzleloader for some extra meat not knowing my elk tag would fail.
So, we're considering doing the 2nd rifle OTC in unit 55. Since it's the closest to us. I know that unit is very crowded and i've never got an OTC tag or hunted one of the units.
What do you think the rifle hunters will think when they see an old mountain man with a flintlock and an old Indian with a longbow hunting in their season? It should be entertaining. I doubt we'll get a bull but we'll never get one if we don't try. Hopefully, we won't get shot.
That's my tag story.
