Ha guys there's the story I booked a guided Elk and Mulie trip on horse back in the rookies 4 years ago, been a long time coming, here's the story line 7 days before I was to leave broke my ankle in 2 places! Cant do the trip So not sure if anyone on here would be interested in taking it? In in Alberta in the Rockies guide says i can come out in November to complete hunt it ankle is good, if not it's looking like it right now I was wondering if there is someone who may be interested taking it over? Message me with a cell number for more details. Thanks Jim

Sounds fun, sorry to hear. I don't want to give any Mulies the Covid so I'm out. I'm at a higher likely hood of killing everything around me, you see.

Sorry to hear that! Last year, our Grandson was getting self all primed for his first deer hunt - a couple weeks before season, managed to break his arm in a hockey practice. Really sucked - so, get to redo that "first hunt" this year. Hoping that you are young enough to get another shot at that guided Elk/Mulie hunt - sounds like sort of a "lifetime" kind of thing... I do not know where you live or where you were going to, but I was North and West of Grande Cache (South and West of Grande Prairie) on foot a few falls ago - was a draw moose season - had some snow on the ground - November? But nothing like a November can be out on bald ass prairie where I am from!!!

Yes it was a buck list hunt planned and booked this 4 years ago for my 60th birthday present to myself! That and a fishing trip to Rivers inlet both were a Bust!!live to tell the story. Hoping to get out this here heard from a buddy he got a cow elk draw in early December here in the Cowichan valley on the island! Will make it happen.
Gotta use the red for the right foot and green tape for the left and only then will he be good to go.
Hope the moon and the stars align and the Op can get out there.

Accumark, don’t give up yet.
Stepped into a hole in the dark several years ago, and broke my left leg on the first night of a fly-in moose hunt up here. The pain was excruciating, but had my wife pull hard on the heel and instep until the bone was set straight. Splinted it up with about a dozen straight willow sticks and wrapped it all together with cord.
Went to bed with several Ibuprofen, woke up twice and took a couple more. Actually slept well enough to get some rest.
Early in the morning slid my leg into a hip wader. Barely fit, but that’s what was needed to keep everything straight. Spent most of the day in the boat calling, and we had a moose down and done before dark.
Really didn’t think it was possible, but ended up having both a good time and success. I would encourage you to check with your doctor and the outfitter for advice. Tell them you really want to go and see what they say.
Best,
Ted

Update I heard back from my guide Dewy Mattews from Anchor D outfitters he got out his waiting list book made a call and gentleman from Ontario who has taken many elk with him over the years has jumped a the chance to take the hunt as Dewy has sold his elk tags to another outfitter starting next year, so his last year to elk hunt makes me sad that I could not complete on the hunt. Thanks to the guys that showed interest in takening it over.
Update outfitter has opened his waiting list book made a call and has someone who has hunted with him many times wants to take the trip over.
Nothing like a 9th hour save coming your way.
Hope the break heals well and your back hunting in the Spring.
