It's too bad it's over for you... maybe some small game hunting?

I'd love to go into a place
I'd love to go into a place like that. But I went up just under 10,000' one time and there is not a lot of air up there! I didn't have to walk around to much and I'd have to either sit a bit or pass out. Sure was pretty though!

It is pretty up there. I could never leave it, but I can still do it with fly fishing small creeks for brookies. The best part compared to elk hunting is it's pretty easy to haul out a few brookies.

Still Hunter, you just need
Still Hunter, you just need to find a couple of high school aged boys that are interested in hunting that you can mentor. Then while you are teaching them how to hunt you can teach them how to pack out what you shoot. The only problem with that is that I have tried it and for some reason they are never around when you really need them.
One thing that is nice about those brookies is that after you catch one and you don't want to keep it you can just turn it loose. It's kind of hard to do that to a elk or deer that you have just shot. Good luck on the fishing

I can also build a fire, and
I can also build a fire, and eat them on the spot. Almost as good as elk meat.

You can do that with your elk
You can do that with your elk and deer too. You just have to stay a little bit longer than with a brookie.

Hunting
You could always do both. Just don't plan on shooting an elk unless it's a monster. Realize just having a tag so you can go and hunt and just have the experience of it makes it all worth it. Wether you get something or not. You could divide up your days so you can hunt both and you never know you may bag a deer the first or second day and still want to do some hunting. Shooting something the first day when you have a week off is kinda of a bumber even though you got an animal. It's all about being out doors in amazing country chasing elusive tail.
