We spent the night before the hunt comparing notes with Rost495 and having a decidedly crappy dinner at a place called ‘The Cave’. They were generous with the name. ‘The Dump’ would’ve been more appropriate, where they pride themselves in their lousy, expensive food and horrible service. A couple of wildly overcooked burgers (we’d ordered them medium rare) and a few drinks only cost me about a hundred bucks. Even better when you been eating mtn house meals for a few days.. well that’s what I been told.. one day I will get to delta jct and visit.. Aren't you (Nugget) the guy who suggested I not admit that I was out of Boston when I was out there chasing bison? Sheeit. One of the local restaurant owners and town assemblymen or whatever is originally out of Maine and has family in Newburyport, MA, where my folks live. He offered to get me permission to hunt 'closed' private areas if we needed. That dude (Ken Greenleaf, originally out of Maine, 25 year Army vet who now owns the Big Delta Brewing Company) and I have loose plans to fish locally when he gets back home for visits. Another guy, one who granted permission for us to hunt his land, has a 978 area code listed as a contact. When SD and I met him at his residence to talk about hunting bison on his land, discovered that Bob and I knew some of the same families on the MA south shore. When he explained where he was originally from (Marshfield, MA) I asked him if he knew the Roth family. He responded with, 'I went to HS with Kenny and George'. So much for your creepy prediction. I didn't even have to pretend I was an Eskimo...

The great personal risk endured for a single photo of a Bikini Babes barista...

The great personal risk endured for a single photo of a Bikini Babes barista... LOL! How indignant she was. Her: "I'm just here selling hot drinks (read as my exposed teats and box along with a side of coffee). How DARE you take a picture of me without my permission?" Me: "Well, let's see. Click, click, click. Just like that, sugar. Come at me" Her: "here's your change. Have a nice day" SD: "ha ha ha! He's from Boston, I'm sorry. Keep the change (40 cents or something)" Me: "So what are you doing Friday night, anyway?

Thank you KG...
What an amazing thread...
I needed exactly this...
Thank you again!
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Yeah- I quit putting in for bison a couple years back, after 40 years of trying unsuccessfully. This is OK tho- I ain't freezing my ass off, nor rasslin guts. Downside is no meat, either. Same here....40+ years and no tag but I've pointed numerous hunters in the right direction. I still enjoy it but after a few pics, I'm back in my truck and gone. Some of Leighton's bison is going in the crock pot this weekend as Rost was kind enough to drop off a small cooler full. There's not a lot of full freezers in this neighborhood this year.

Is the Cave that pizza/Italian restaurant that’s owned by the giant Russian bitch? They're Greek and she has passed away. She was the pleasant one of that bunch.

A huge “Thank You” to KG and all of the fire members that helped make this story happen.
I’d rather read a story like this than any article published in a gun magazine.

Somehow, I missed the picture of a dead bison.
And he had such a big rifle!
