Last year I killed an antelope buck, mule deer buck and bull elk - had a hell of a great time hunting them and the meat in the freezer is nice when beef is $4-5 per pound. I plan on spending plenty of time in the field again this year - I think about hunting and shooting all the time, I think it's what keeps me going. I've been doing it for 30+ years now and I have no plan to stop. Maybe when I can't get up the hill any longer I'll have to refocus my ambitions, but for now I even use it for motivation to stay in shape.


A true sportsman counts his achievements in proportion to the effort involved and fairness of the sport. - S. Pope
