About sixty years ago I killed my first bull elk. I didn't "take" him or "harvest" him, I shot and killed him with my 30-06. No pictures were taken but that hunt still lives in my memory like it was no more than a month or so ago. Even more vivid than the two dozen or so that I killed since then. My hunting was never intended to impress anybody but simply to put good meat on the table.

The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.
