If you don’t feel comfortable taking the shot that's your call. So, for the next two days we jumped 4 or 5 Elk and didn’t get a shot Two days later his son Blake comes over to say, “Get your gear were going to get you a Elk!” We got up there, made camp, went and did the same setup.
No elk so said fuck it and went to a meadow to cal. Right as we get there we see a cow at about 700 yard. While they bugled Blake said pick one so I did and shot a cow at 265 yards. She went down from my 30-06 Rem. 180 grain less then 20 yards from my last shot. We gutted and skinned her and left it hanging. As we come back we see that there is a problem. OH! FUCK!! We see two sets of tracks and two Cougars having lunch. After shooting and tagging two Cougars (no pics) we took home the backstraps.

Thanks for sharing, I remember my first hunt. You owe me fifteen minutes

What's so bad about your hunt? You killed an elk and two piece of shit cats. Sounds bitchen to me! Wish I had hunts as bad as yours.

Yeah, the hunt sounds good to me. Nice job! The only thing bad about that story was the spelling, grammar and lack of punctuation.

Thus the translation Best I could do in 15 min then I had to put the rosetta stone down.

That post blew up my decoder ring so I'm still a little confused. He shot an elk and 2 cougars right? I'd sacrifice some elk meat to shoot 2 lions anyday. Sounds pretty good to me.

Thanks Kurt. Now that my decoder ring is tits-up I guess I'll just drop some coin on a new Rosetta Stone. Guess I shoulda just spent the extra money on one in the first place.

I got the new electronic Rosetta plus. It's freeware but the scriptures service pack 1.05 is loaded with bugs
