“Cactus enriched”

All these jabronis are out there with Timberline and Foundry pants with measly kneepads. Next year I'm gonna be stalking the plains of Wyoming rolling along on an off road modified mechanics dolly, my stomach blissfully floating above the cactii.

No but for real @trb you’re a great writer. English teacher? Your story of Wide Drexler is one of my all-time favorites. Sorry you had to deal with the rear-end rocketry.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed. 5th grade...I'm out here setting off fireworks in celebration of punctuation and capital letters.

Nice recap… even when it hit the fan!

Another great hunt report, I wish you continued hunting success just so we can keep enjoying your prose! "Unnatural frequency," "misjudged," "explosive ferocity" - the 'soiled undies' part of your thread title was a comical understatement. Thanks for the report and the photos. Congrats on the elk!

My tinnitus finally has a worthy earworm competitor...

Definitely should be a strong consideration for a Talkie in the comedic category @Hunting Wife!

And here's to more correct punctuation and capitalization in your life @trb

Just when I was thinking we were a little short on comedy nominees this year…

Only a couple more weeks to get some laughs in for 2021

This line right here. Best single line in a hunting story this year lol

I was literally laughing out loud reading that to my wife

I sure had a good laugh at your expense thanks! I know that warm squishy feeling of disgust myself and it isn't fun one bit.

Fantastic write up! Congrats on the success this year.

Congrats and thanks for sharing the story. Off to read about the muzzy buck...

If your story was not so entertaining I would say turn in your "Man Card" for using the term "undies".

 

[PaulRevere]

Awesome! I love a good "shitting your pants" story. #nevertrustafart

*oh and congrats on the elk!!

Congratulations on a great (if somewhat messy) season!

Lessons were learned, freezers were filled, and I will not be consuming thrice thawed pepperoni pizza again. Thus ends hunting season 2021.

The End.

Nicely mushroomed, but complete core separation? Taken from the heart...sounds like it penetrated just enough to get the job done but with no room for error. Similar to my experience with that bullet. I don't think I'll be using it for elk again.

Glad you had the energy for a write up and for a laugh.
Cool.
