    Re: Rocksteady 2019 Dear Diary

    HBC come through again.. got a pm from a member (never to be named) asking me to explain my rationale to try to get an elk a moose and 2 deer for my family and extended family (total of 10 people) since our wildlife populations are in such dire straights..

    Really?

    Now thats a good laugh !

    I take multiple deer deer and a bear or two each season for 2 of us.
    Filled all my tags last year + a large spring bear and I still have less than 25% of my freezer full!

    usually the ones who can’t fill a freezer making the comments lol

    All of the family eats wild meat probably at least 3 days a week.. does not take long to eat those animals..

    Maybe this is why people dont post hunting stories etc anymore, like we used to back in the early days of HBC..

    Too many critics!!!

    If the author of the pm was so concerned about populations, he/she would be the first to sell all their guns and bows and not hunt , in the name of wildlife.. no????

    Someone recently asked me about bows and grouse. I explained that an organic chicken is a sure thing, and good hunting arrows cost more...

    The trip to Whole Foods is almost as fun as hunting though, as I get to park my lifted longbox 3500 on top of a couple of Priusss and watch the vegans reactions!
    If we’re not supposed to eat animals, how come they’re made out of meat?

    Bang on. Anyone giving people a hard time for feeding their families with legal bag limits has their priorities messed up.

    Got a small bull opening morning. Likely not to share the story or photos.
    Yup, that coiler is a personal best...

    Congrats.. cant say i blame you. Some asshat will give you the gears for taking a legal good eating bull, when, in their opinion you shoukd have let it grow to maturity

    Yep, I think you nailed it.
    Buddy and I each killed a bull moose a couple days ago, going to kill an elk, and at least a deer or two. GF will kill an elk, and probably a deer or two.

    All of it will get eaten if the last 30+ years are any indication....

    I plan on a elk or moose along with my usual 2 deer to feed a family of 3

    People need to worry about themselves more.

    Usually the ones who drive and dont hike have the most to complain about

    i know where a few bulls are hiding, just need to get a cable car and a mile of cable to getm out of there

    I'm the one sitting in the cut block glassing all the animals you spooked and didnt see because you dont get out of your truck
