Without throwing stone's which I don't mean to do I'm trying to understand why someone would pay to kill a farm animal (elk) included. I guess there is a killing mindset that I don't understand, I had to dispatch many animal's on the farm but I never thought anything of it except that it was nessesary. That being said I really don't have a problem with it if it's legal, but what's next chicken shooting , someone says PULL and a chicken is thrown in the air ? I would have to compare it to instead of wining and dining a girl and hoping to score going to a brothel paying your money and doing your business. Think about the party conversation " like that steak ? " I killed it myself, we don't buy our meat at the grocerie store we kill our own and don't think it was easy, every time I tried to shoot it it kept coming at me(must have thought I had feed ) so I had to throw stones at it to have it move away so I could get an aim with my .375, you should have seen the look on its face when the .375 h@h went off , I was worried for a minute because it didn't drop right away so I edged back to the fence just to be safe. All in all it was a good hunt , I did get some mud on the bmw but it was worth it cause a man's got to do what a man's got to do! P.S. not to worry there was a car wash just outside of town !
