.270

if a guy knew how many lions he'd been within smellin' distance of he wouldn't sleep at night. sneaky durn things. good job. Lark.

nice bull, really nice brace o' mules. Lark.

that guy calls me for advice all the time. kinda annoying. i always say "stay drunk, my friend". Lark.

i'm in DC today to meet with the pope. he hates the 7mm08 too. Lark.

In about 1968 a guy I know droov a cotton picker from Pima Az, to wenden Az. 6mph. Lark.

Do they make a camera system with a flame thrower or poison dart shooter? Meth makes stupid people even stupider. I get sick when I hear about people getting their guns stolen. Lark.

i'll trade this one. Lark

may be. it had baloney strings in it so i kinda thought it was you. Lark.

there's 2 koreas? when did that happen? Lark

in that case, any old elk will do. good job all around.

actually, i just went up to the front door when W was there and said "hey, i wanna come it". they axed who i was and i said "Lark". somewhere inside i heard W say "you mean .270?" and i hollerd back "yeah". he said "let him in, i need to ax him about some nuclear strategery stuff and whether or not if i oughta outlaw the 7mm08". and that's how it happened. honest. Lark.

if i tell you i'll hafta shoot casey. Lark.

trophy hunter, it's called hughesnet. they got these little saucer lookin' deals they put on your roof now. we have internet and tv both. and solar power. waaaaaaaaaaaay off the grid. it's so far east valley we're only 30 miles from new mex. i can't splain about the oval office. it's top secret. they drag me in there all the time. it's just futher proof o' nerdness. Lark.

well done. Lark.

heard a story that made me feel good yesterday. some friends of my youngest son were archery hunting in u27. only one had a tag. hard hunt, had a hard time getting on things right, you know how it goes sometimes. anyway, couple days ago, late in the day, the guy shot a 6x6. it ran off into a canyon, in a locust patch and died. they found it, went back to camp and came back with everyone in camp, including the wives, and went to work. took em until 9 am to the next morning to pack it out, in the dark, out of a canyon, in a locust patch. anybody ever hafta work their way through locusts? mean bushes. they didn't shirk and do the old "lets back out and come back in the morning deal" like you see em do on hunting shows so much, and like i've seen a lotta folks do. they gutted, skinned, quartered and packed it out in the dark, women helping and all, like folks should, so it doesn't sit there all night spoil. these guys aren't diehards that hunt a lot, but guys that enjoy the woods and have a good compass and do what it takes to complete a hunt. just thought it was a good story about doing things the right way. Lark.

the way it really should be is the guys shoulda give their wives the coordinates, stayed in camp and told em wake em up when they got it out. Lark

i'm glad i live in the middle o' nowhere and all i hafta duck is an occassional fryin' pan from pissin' off the cook. you guys live dangerous lives. Lark.

aint it tho? still a really big bull. which is what this was all about, wasn't it? i'll go back under the bridge with the rest o' the trolls. i've really been put in my place. sorry about the bugs bunny reference. congratulations to hunter and his guide. Lark.

not trying to cause any debate. these guys knew where the bull was, and didn't take the easy way out, like i've seen so many times. every situation is different and i ain't trying to say they ain't. not trying to question anything anyone has done, just commending these guys and their wives for doing things the best way, at night, in a canyon, in a locust patch. really difficult circumstances. Lark.

for that money, maybe i'll rent one. don't know, but i'm kinda thinkin' a grapefruit goin' 60 might be lethal. glad i don't jog. i always say exercise is bad for ya. Lark.

some serious points on that thing. fine job. but what do i know? Lark

don't it piss ya off when kids do stuff to you that you useta do to folks when you wuz a kid? sorry little maroons. can it be any red mustang? Lark

i think TC makes some like that too. but i kinda think he axin about a conventional set up. Lark

yeah, i'm just a troll. never shot anything. no family, no friends. don't know a thing about the woods or huntin' or fishin' or nothin'. please forgive me. even tho i live 40 miles from a power line in a canyon in the coolest country on earth and i have to ride a horse 1/2 mile just to make a phone call. and every year we have deer and elk and bears and lions hanging from every tree limb that will hold one. but you're right, what do i know? just a wannabee. that is still one helluva a bull. even a wannabee like me can see that. would love to put my hands on them antlers. and he did it with a bow. on a general tag that anyone can apply for. i have a bull tag later in the year. maybe somebody can show me how to get one. are they all as big as this one? Lark

trophy hunter, probly nothing, as long as you cut it up enough it can cool off. i thought it was kinda hardcore for em stay after it all night and i admired their dedication to the animal. as far as leaving an elk whole, overnight, in any weather, just as well just pack out the horns, because the meat will be soured. even if it's below 0. if you see your elk is dead, you best take good care of it that night, or you'll regret it when you try to eat it.
