Sockrsblur,
I think my mountain climbing days for elk are over...darn old knees :( Zack spends a fair amount of time in the back country having climbed all the mountains around Crested Butte for back country skiing. Zach hasn't hunted out there yet but last year he helped his buddy scout out some nice bulls. When his buddy didn't take a shot at a 7x7, he said that was the match that lit the hunting fire for him. For the past two years, Zach has come to our Aiken, SC farm to hunt hogs and loves it. He has always been an extreme sports guy with bowhunting a bit sedate for him....but the thrill of Hog hunting & getting close to that Big bull has started his bowhunting journey! He has been in Crested Butte for the past 8 years and has the legs & knowledge of the back country. I'll just have to live my elk hunts through him from now on...tippit
