This is a hunting forum equivalent of The English Patient. It must be painful knowing some guys actually have friends willing to take them hunting. Sorry. Yeah. It’s a Campfire first. A real trailblazer. LOL In America, we're free to do things like read, or not read--or be a dickhead, as we've seen on display here a number of times. Funny, but I can't recall your posting anything here outdoors related in a few years now. I think you need to go shoot yourself an iguana or something and try to get your head right. You can call it therapy.

I read a bunch yesterday and the ending today. I have a question, did I miss a picture or sidebar story of "Stubbs" the sawed-off shotgun barrel anywhere in this novel? No. The last guy it was sent to simply never passed it along for whatever reason. I've asked him to do so several times and it never happened, so I'm done asking.

I don't think this clip will play in this format, but it was kind of bizarre to see the bison's flank muscles quivering and contracting like crazy in this short vid. It was taken at least an hour after the bison died. Only time I've ever seen similar was with a 'gator I killed years ago in FL. After that animal's spine was severed with a chisel and his brain mushed by a .357 mag load, he whacked me across the small of my back with his tail as I was putting in the CITES locking tag in. That was an hour after we got him on the boat. [img] https://i.imgur.com/m1w76WM.mp4[/img]

Glad you had a successful and enjoyable hunt, K.G. I enjoyed your narrative and pictures. That looks like one helluva skinning job! L.W.

Looks like you had a great time and will have memories and meals aplenty. Not much more a person can ask for out of recreational time.

This has been as good as it was waiting for another episode of Longmire to hit the airwaves.

I wish I had friends to take me hunting😞 nugget sad right now..
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.
