He Got One

Well, Dave had a very happy birthday.

He filled his deer tag.

The buck was pronounced dead at approximately 9 a.m.

Dave spent the next 4 hours gutting the deer and hauling it back to the truck.

He was a tired, but happy, birthday boy.



Sorry, Charlie, this is too big to make into a decoration.

You obviously don't understand the dead animal decoration spectrum. Bigger = more appropriate for decoration. Next year we will have to go kill an elk in Colorado so he can make that into a decoration.

Nate, I don't know about making an elk into a decoration, but I think you guys elk hunting next year in CO sounds like a good idea. I like elk meat so much better than venison.

I've had two life altering experiences with elk. The first I was about nine. I was running into the garage to get ice cream out of the freezer for dessert. I didn't turn on the light because I never did. I would just turn the corner and open the freezer. This time I ran face first into a newly skinned elk hanging from the ceiling! SO GROSS!

The second happened when I was eleven. I taking out the trash and accidentally knocked over a box sitting next to it...it was the head of an elk...maggots and all. Yeah I was pretty much traumatized. I just had to share because that is what this post reminded me of...

Oh and I'm a loud talker too! Let's have a loud conversation soon!
