Granted, they are easier to take when it was you who walked away. Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.

The other help were brothers J. at 6'5" and A. at 6'8". These fellas can pack anything! It's really, really in their blood to do so...

We tried eating his tenderloins and then ground every bit of him into burger,hotdogs, and saucauge. I tend to use more than enough gun

Wait, I think I'm getting things mixed up. Well, an early season/August moose anyway. Those big ones are so tasty (fat and sweet) right before the rut starts.

The really wide ones are rarely near as interesting IMO. (But I really like 'em when they're younger: not quite so difficult to pack around, and less work grinding! ) Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
