Re: Deer

 When we went on vacation this past summer to S.Dakota, our biggest disappointment (the only, actually) was not getting to see a bull elk...saw plenty of females and young but no bulls!  Hopefully on our next trip there we'll be more lucky.

But you see whyhunting for meat isn't for poor people.  Actually he got off prettycheap--if he'd had to hire a guide or go to one of the ranches that havehunting camps, he could have paid a lot more.  I think a lot of hunters gettheir enjoyment from the week of roughing it in wild country more thananything else--getting the elk just gives them an excuse to be out there.Don't know what in-state licenses are going for now, but it's a whole lotless than an out-of-state license so his friend got his meals for a lotless.  For myself, there is something really regal about an elk--I couldn'tkill one.Linda in Wyoming---------------------------------------------------------------------To sign-off this list, send email to majordomo@hort.net with themessage text UNSUBSCRIBE GARDENCHAT
