It's very different, ask the guys who drive out from the east coast to hunt the mountains here. And you're assuming he paid because that's how they do it in TX. That's not how most do it here.

And btw, do you work hard at this?


1-It ain't different. Sitting in a blind and loading deer up in a truck is the same everywhere. Don't try to make it out to be more than what it is, you'll only embarrass yourself.
2-I don't need to ask the folks from the East, I can ask myself because I've done it. And it dang sure wasn't on a ranch with pickup trucks.
3-I don't care how most do it, this was a paid ranch hunt. Nothing more or less.

BTW-No. Observing and pointing out the obvious is something that comes naturally to me.



I'm glad WCC had a great hunt with his family. It wouldn't be so amusing if it weren't coming from a typical "Colorado is so great we do it differently here and nobody else understands how awesome it is" guy.


Sitting in a blind and loading elk into a truck isn't the norm here. That was the point. It was a unique hunt, probably the only one in my life that will be like that. I've killed 14 elk and only two have gotten loaded into a truck in one piece. My last bull before lat week took two full days to pack out of the canyon I stupidly shot him in. And I have to disagree on one point. This was a hunt on a ranch, not a ranch hunt - and their IS a difference. No feeders, no spotlights, and nobody drinking light beer.
