I've got relatives in Crown Point. Maybe I should send them some ammo?

At 5:45 PM , MAX Redline said...: Amazing. Yep, the deer all read the signs, and figure that it's cool as long as they're in a deer crossing.

I was out fishing near the coast one late afternoon, and happened to encounter a co-worker who was returning from an unsatisfying day of elk hunting. After chatting for a while, I got into my ride to head home, and he climbed into his, and followed.

Rounding a bend, I noticed movement in the ditch. Somebody'd managed to hit an elk, and it was still alive. I pulled over, my bud pulled over, we surveyed the situation, and then he walked back to his truck and hauled out his bow.

He shot it and tagged it, and we loaded it into the bed of his pickup.

Man - it was fork-tender along the tread-mark.
