    Feeding the Rat (AKA GrantK's elk hunting obsession)

    Seriously excellent, journal-quality hunting recap so far. I loved reading it. I hope the man in the white track suit and the man with the scoped Daisy make an appearance during your Colorado hunt, riding elephants and dueling in a distant park...
