Thanks so much, Ken, for taking the time to come back year after year and share your experiences with us... I truly mean that. And congratulations, as well.
You know how I feel about you and your writing, and I -- like many on here -- feel fortunate to have made your online acquaintance. As always, there's some special verses in your prose that I always enjoy as much as any literary masterpiece I ever studied on the way to my degrees in English, rhetoric and composition. This time, it's this one for me:
I am living proof a person can tune their equipment meticulously, shoot softball size groups with broadheads consistently at sixty yards, and entirely miss a stationary animal bigger than a Volkswagen at about forty yards.
That... and the statement which couldn't be truer: an elk can cover a lot of ground merely by walking! Ain't that the truth, brother!
