Luckily we found the dog that ran off 9 days later, about 15 lbs lighter but it only had a torn ACL too.  Both dogs made good recoveries.  That one dog is still dead, though.

How ironic that the unsuccessful one has more animal killing that the successful one. What a time to be alive

I thought you drew a tag at the fort? I thought it was going to be a sure thing.

Correct lib, I committed to the Colorado trip before I knew I drew the Fort Riley tag.  So I get two elk hunts this year.  This month I'll be on the fort until the deed is done.  Then I have two deer tags to fill (one western KS mule deer rifle, then some lousy whitetail doe that I'll only try with a bow).  I'd also like my wife to shoot her first deer but don't know if it's in the cards.

I've hunted all my life and only just now realized how much it has in common with KU football.  It's all about the setting and success is not necessarily measured in wins (kills).

i just get out of my car and start walking, shoot the first example of the target species i see, then go home and eat it.  i can never sort out in my own mind if i should be lolling at or admiring the hunters like emo that make a huge production out of the whole thing.

I would have shot the first legal bull I could, there was just never an ethical opportunity.  The tag I had only has a statewide 12% success rate, and talking to people we had a lot more action than most.  Add to that we don't have the benefit of living there and keeping and eye on animals over the summer and getting to pounce on them opening day when they are stupid.

Oh, man. If I lived there, I'd just set up feeders so those stupid elk would be right next to the truck when the killing time comes. Work smart, not hard.

Elk don't eat dog meat, though. The way I hunt, I don't even need to kill my dogs. They get to just stay home and wait on me to give them a tasty elk heart for dinner.

Also, nothing worthwhile comes easy.  I embrace the suck.  I like it.  I like taking real risks.  We live such comfortable lives that I relish the struggle, knowing that I have everything I need on my back, that only my wit and gumption can keep me alive.

Well, my dogs embrace staying alive with full mobility, while getting to share that delicious heart. I also save the liver and give it to them on Christmas day. They love it.

Good for you. I like your passion. Not a lot of people have a passion for certain things in life and it makes me sad.

just choosing to try to kill a bull elk with an arrow is like 80% of making a huge production out of it in my mind.  choosing to do it 500 miles from where you live is another 10%.
