KEN MUSGROVE OF LIVINGSTON ALSO KNOWN AS THE "QUIET MAN" SHOWS HIS TWO SONS HE CAN STILL COMPETE
WITH THEM.  KEN'S FAMILY GAVE HIM A SURPRISE HUNT FOR HIS 70TH BIRTHDAY.  ----- 

    The
      great,  elk hunters got back yesterday from somewhere in Colorado.
      (Where did that saying come from??) They can't tell me where they were
      because you have to drive 70 miles to get to the nearest town of Clayton,
      New Mexico. It's about as far from Clayton to  Rato`n Pass NM, as it
      is from Clayton to Amarillo TX. In 29 miles they went through Oklahoma,
      New Mexico, and Colorado. Keith says it's the FAR southeast corner of
      Colorado.

Keith
      got the first elk Saturday morning, 5x5 scored 265bc. Dad got the next one
      Saturday evening, 8x7 scored 408bc. Keith, Kirk and Mama surprised Dad
      with what is called a "LIFETIME" elk. He thought they made a mistake until
      the boys gave him  a bear hug. Notice he had to prop the antlers on
      his leg to take the pictures. Kirk got his elk on Sunday morning, 5x6
      scored 248bc.
