,,,DAY...17 years ago today, my Dad, my Mentor, my Best Friend, died
at the age of 62..The man taught me about life,,how to salmon fish, hunt( anything that walked,or flied,(EVEN PEOPLE,but thats another sad, but saved my ass story
)))for someone who was born in Iowa in 1924 and retired from the Army in 1963 as a Major( yes he was in the invasion of North Africa,and Normandy (that day, he said scared the shit out of him
in the Korean war,,and got his butt shot off in both of them..( I'll talk more in private if you ask... )He was a HELL of a person
Dad never did kill an elk, although he hunted for them for 30 years..
After he retired from hunting he gave me his guns(being the only left handed son, and the only one in the family that could out shoot him..)
(Here is were I'm the luckiest person on earth)I'm going to retire dads .30-06 by killing a Royal Bull Elk(6X6 with ivory tips on all 6 points on both sides)and my loving wife says "Go for it"...
I have found an outfitter,( a bit spendy)who told me that if we didn't find the elk that I was looking for, the hunt was FREE..( The cost otherwise is around $4000
(Oh chit thats some cash )Becky(Lady Nutcracker)said "GO FOR IT" " Piss the guide off and cross the frigguns bull eyes
)
This gal is so tight with money, that I had better make sure I come home with a deer ,or elk, or I had better have a damn good excuse of why not..( She is tight with her wallet
)To top it all off she wants to go with me, and film it
She is willing to spend $4000 plus to retire dads rifle, in fact she told me that the next elk I "KILL" WILL be "DADS" elk
!!Ain't that some chit??
