Tell me about it. I think I get fed up at work with moronic "hunters" I have to deal with on a daily basis so my patients runs thin for things like this.

One came into the store today that I absolutely despise. Two years ago he brought in the pictures of a beautiful 6x6 bull he shot in S.W. Colorado that looked like it would easilymake B&C. He bragged about how he made a 500+ yard running shot "right through the heart" and dropped it with one shot. (I call B.S.)Then 20 minutes later proceded to tell me how the meat spoiled because he couldn't get it gutted and it sat there for nearly 2 days before he could get back to it with help. [:@]I wanted to reach across the counter and throat punch him.

I thinkI just gotta get out of this business so I can quit listening to A-holes like this guy. It can put a damper on hunting.



I think 5, maybe 6loooooooooooong years.

I talk to my father about hunting out there every year but the lastfew years my wife has had a hiatal hernia repaired, a hysterectomy, andher gall bladder removed. Kind of put the X on the elk funds. But priorities are priorities and she is doing well. Hopefully it will work out this year. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

I don't know if I want to bring a friend and archery hunt or go with my father and rifle hunt. I would much rather hunt with my bow out there with one other person in a spike camp up on the ridges each nightbut my father doesn't bow hunt. [&:]Likely I will go with my father with the rifle though. And you will be pleased to know I will bring my 338RUM.

The wife and I do plan on moving back out there as soon as the kids graduate high school. My son in 3 years and my daughter in 5 years.I soooooo miss the mountains.
