Slow day, huh?

Postby Mikeha33 » 05 03, 2013 •  [Post 1]

Everyday, and I mean everyday, I enjoy reading all of the veteran elk hunters posts, absorbing every peice of valid information I can like a sponge, marking maps, researching equipment, and planning my hunt, based on all the input I read. So when I get on here and there are no posts for today, it makes me sad :( .

Have a good Friday ya'll!

If I didn't do some yard work today the neighbors were gonna call the cops. Frickin' jungle. First cut of the year was brutal. I always wait until I kill me longbeard. This one took a few extra days but was worth the wait after passing up birds for several days. I logged on and saw a couple thread where my post was the last one and said wow.. dead around here. Pretty soon I'll be disappearing myself. Riding the mororcycle more. bear hunting in Canada then back to Canada for a muskie fishing trip. But as a bona fide elknut I'll be checking in when I am online.

Shouldn't be too long before Phantom shows up....... think of a question before he gets here. That way he won't go bald from scratching his head thinking of one himself.

I was thinking the same thing. No new posts? Maybe it's time I not only read and commented but contributed questions and seeded threads.

Yeah, I think I'll do just that.

I haven't seen Swede post lately. Wonder if he has given in to the dark side?

John, I think Swede said he would be missing for a few days. I really expected someone to bad-mouth him while he was away! :twisted:

Instead, I'll tell a story about him and I.

Erikson and Fitzgerald were out hunting when they came upon a pair of tracks. They stopped and examined the tracks closely.
Erikson announced, "Those are deer tracks. It's deer season, so we should follow the tracks and find our prey." Fitzgerald responded,"Those are clearly elk tracks, and elk are out of season. If we follow your advice, we'll waste the day." Each believed himself to be the superior woodsman, and they both bitterly stuck to their guns. They were still arguing when the train hit them.

:lol:

This is really funny stuff. I had not seen it before. Does anyone want me to start a thread on hunting mistakes? I sure have plenty that I can recall. I am sure there are some things to be learned from a good review of blunders.
