So many negative douches around here! With their almighty opinions and righteous self tuned ethics. This guy was obviously not hunting for meat! No one needs a meat prep lecture from a jealous tmat on a hunting forum. Some people hunt for the thrill and the chase, could care little for the meat, absolutely nothing wrong with that, as long as we follow by the same rules and laws.
I want to say THANK YOU for posting the adventure. Their are few left you do so because of wanker forum ball busters who think that hiding behind the "meat eater" facade is what hunting is supposed to be. I enjoy elk/vension as much as anybody but that's not why I go hunting. I like the chase and the challenge of getting the biggest animal I can.... not a damn thing wrong with that!!! And to those who think there is, bugger back off to the meat eater show.
A very cool hunt. I understand the difficulty in even finding a buck in SE Oregon. I just had an antelope hunt in Whitehorse and in was great. I gave all the meat to a buddy, never even tried it. I don't need your lectures as to how good lope meat is, that's not what I'm into, I love to hunt! I topped of my trip with a 12oz piece of prime rib at ringside and absolutely loved it.
Unfortunately negative tmats with thier tuned ethic rehtoric is ruining many sites like this, making it intimidating to post stories and pics/videos. Just be known, there are many like me who love to HUNT like you, well done sir, most excellent buck! I would love to know what unit lol PM me if you're bored. Thank you for posting. The stank talkers on this thread are the type that need to be banned if there is to be a future to MM.
