Went and visited with an old friend of mine yesterday for a few hours
He will be 84 in November
I sat and let him tell me hunting stories for a couple of hours. Some I had heard before and some for the first time
We talked about the elk hunt we went on in the San Juans where he found lots of bear sign right behind our camp but didn’t tell me because he knew I would not sleep
How he was in his 60’s and I in my 20’s and he could leave me far behind in the mountains
We talked about back when Engling and Richland were open to archery hunt with the AHP and how he homesteaded one of the screen shelters for the month and us younger guys would come down and hunt on the weekends in the places or stands he hung for us
He is going hunting with another guy that is a little older than me this fall and is excited about that
I grew up hunting but “The Old Man” as we called him taught me some valuable lessons about hunting, fishing and trapping and still has a wealth of information
