Been in south central Col in the mountains, and
thought I would casually stick an arrow in a elk.
HaHa. Hard to draw a bow when you can't even
draw a breath.
Yeah, it's all pretty if you're not struggling to
breathe normally like a river bottom rat used to
near sea level
Did get a good lesson from a former co-worker
that was from the western Co border. We talked
about hunting, and naturally it got around to elk.
I remarked that I didn't have anything bigger than
a 308, and he gave me a funny look.
He'd worked on a big ranch and he was telling me
that many an elk and mule deer had been shot
out of a truck window with a 30/30 lever and
35 rem, and that it was mostly out-of-staters
that needed the big guns and tried the 500
yard shots
