Suggestions for for elderly lady, 18 WY points, likely her last elk hunt.

[Jaquomo]

My friend is early-70s accomplished lady hunter who has 18 WY elk points, kind of a bum ankle, and looking for suggestions to use those points for a relatively gentle (ag field, travel route, etc) hunt for maybe her last hurrah.Wulling to pay for an outfitted hunt.

Suggestions welcomed as long as they dont break forum rules. Otherwise, please PM.

Call a hunt broker. They work with tons of outfitters and know which ones would work best for her.

Haha! No, my gf (now wife) is 15 years younger and works out every day, plus doing a 3-4 mile hike. She's ridiculously fit. This is the wife of a good friend who had to have ankle fusion surgery last year.

Never know who or what you'll meet, when hiking down a mountain road when you least expect it. Rig pulls up, window rolls down, beautiful woman leans out and introduces herself, asks if I'm "Lou", says we need to meet up for a beer and talk about hunting. OK then!

One of the desert units would be easier to get around in

You've had some rough times, happy for you!

Wagonhound might be better suited to help with her needs.

Thanks, Bob. Ive been blessed. My friend checked out Wagonhound and said it was a bit out of their price range. Appreciate the suggestion.

Physical therapy and training until whatever hunt she decides on.

If 18 points gets a premium unit there will be premium prices attached!

With that many points does she even like hunting?

Probably overkill for most units, but life or other hunts can get in the way, so points it is.

And why hasn’t she saved for it, since she grew old collecting points, and hasn’t spent money on an elk hunt in 18 years?

Maybe she has - on a tag unit that didn’t use PPs.

Gotta know how to play the game
