Congratulations Norb! Outstanding hunt and an excellent tale of perseverance, a bit of luck, and sealing the deal on a one-shot opportunity. A big tip of my hat to you and your guide.

Norb -

Great tale and pictures, sure enjoyed them both and we're sure proud of you and your success!!

Sure sorry to hear about your ailment. You have to be one of us "old guys" before you're allowed to start letting the aches and pains hold you back from doing what you enjoy . . . and you sure ain't there yet.

Hey Pops great to hear from you! Did CK go elk hunting in CO? Thought I saw him mention it somewhere. Best regards to you and the family.

Great story! Gotta ask carne adovada??

beachbowhunter · October 01, 2008, 04:35:00 PM

Carne adovada = coarsly chopped meat (usually pork) marinated and cooked in a frightening amount of New Mexico red chiles :eek:

Mine will be shipped tomorrow!

Nice job. I hunted unit 6 when it was an easy draw and wasn't divided (A,B,C etc.) I listed it as a 2nd choice this year but still didn't get drawn. Carne adovada is excelllent especially when made the old way.

Great job! Got to your email before reading the story, so I spoiled the ending for myself, but nice job!

Nothing better than last day success.
