My dad did.

His hunting days were over a long time ago. He has one of everything and no where to hang anything else. I grew up on wild meat. So I'm not so wild about it now. But my dad's neighbor got him an elk tag because he wanted my dad to get out and hunt with him. And he got one a couple nights ago. He is so excited. The story of his night is to long for me to write. So here is the short version in one sentence. He went out alone in the evening, got his elk, went back home to get my mom to help, she called a couple friends, it got dark, they almost got lost, my mom fell in the creek, dad had to pull her out, got the elk gutted, and went back the next morning to haul it out. Short story eh? My dad is 64. I think getting this elk made him feel 10 years younger. I'm so proud of him. And a big thanks to Adam/AKA/mtnpull/AKA/Legend... My mom and dad wouldn't have got it done without your brother. Thank you! They appreciate you guys a ton!!! Here are pics of my dad's elk. Not to bad for a old guy hunting by himself. He said the biggest one he had ever seen in that area.
I think he is still in shock he got this elk. My dad is such a STUD!

awesome awesome. i love to see things like that. That is a true hunt. Great to see people like him get out and shoot a decent elk. Hunting in Utah is getting to be a rich mans sport. Makes me feel good to see him get a great bull. what area?
 
Thanks gp for posting the pics. I have tried to get my brother to send me some, but he keeps sending pics from his phone and they don't come through. Props to your pops. I just wish I was up there to go give a hand. That's a sweet bull. Incredible bull for an open bull unit! Good to see your dad can still put em down. Is he going to do a euro mount or what?
 
Sweet! cool story. Your dad looks a little like a combo of George H. Bush and George W Bush.:)
more like W.
 
AWESOME GENERAL SEASON BULL! Congrats to your dad! I still hunt elk with my dad each year! Will be a sad day when he hangs it up! need to get him one more good bull like that!

Great story GP, Here are a few pics of my dads bull. He will be 65 in two weeks. He came out from Vermont a week before the season to try and get acclimated. First day we were up at 2:45am, dragged him through 5 miles of complete h e l l and called this guy in at 0800. Not bad for his first bull ever. Of course once the shooting stop the real work began. He is not sure he wants to do the any bull on public land hunt again! He likes shooting cows too! I cannot tell you how lucky I am to be able to share the passion that brought me to Utah with the man who taught me to hunt.... Thanks DAD!
