Good for you 06 Hunter! Keep makin' those memories with yer ol' man. They' ll be more important if not excitin' each year.

I kilt my 6x5 bull after lettin' a couple smallish 6x6s go, an' dealin' with several ride-everwhere hunters runnin' the game outta my favorite dark places. Ain' t gonna have him mounted although he had a weighty, long-tined rack. Money' s tight after diggin' a new well an' buyin' the missus some new teeth. Might put the horns on a piece of wood. Damn shame I ain' t got another month to hunt elk. Somethin' s bad wrong with a world where a man' s gotta cut his elk huntin' off at a week ever year.
