Headed to the dark side,,,, maybe, sorta.

Postby Lefty » 06 28, 2022 •  [Post 1]

Yesterday I was distracted hauling in a bait for bear. . Of the last 75 or so times the past two years Ive walked past this location Ive seen elk ten , or 11 of those times within 100 yards.
Call me lazy, but I just might hunt elk from a stand or blind when nobody is looking.

Just don't tell you-know-who or you will never hear the end of it!

Even this post will make you-know-who think his incoherent ramblings are making an affect on people!

How do you like the new truck Swede? Better buy a good tow strap...for when you gotta pull out RJ and Whitey!

Back to topic. My brother casually mentioned we should maybe sit in a tree stand over two really good waterholes middays on our archery hunt. He didn't understand why I started laughing.

The truck is fine and with the 3.5 twin turbo it should pull both RJ and Whitey in one slick move. The engine is quiet and very smooth. It is easy for the speed to sneak up on me.

Well at your age it's easy for most things to sneak up on you. :lol:
I hunt therefore I am. I fish therefore I lie.

What do you mean? Most have just passed on by.

That is so unfair .
I had a wonderful response, which evidently didn't post, or was removed by a moderator. :shock:

This is what I get spending time in the mountians instead of at home with soon to be faster internet.provider and lines.

Lefty: If you ever get another good idea hold on to it. Those mountains are fickle. Anything can get lost there. Enjoy your July 4th outing. :D
