Hope you all had a great summer

hunting seems very boring/gay, something i hope i never get dragged into doing

Genedin gets it. I'm not much of a glory hunter but I do have a different level of appreciation for every piece of meat I don't have to kill. Nothing wrong with living life. The human experience is a diverse one. I just prefer the primal side of it. We were hunter/gatherers for thousands and thousands of years prior to "civilization" if that's what you would call it. There is a savage within, all you need to do is give it a chance.

I'd give you the breakdown of the hunt but I dont feel like typing it out.

Long story short, treed by a bear, free fall from a tree 20 feet up (broken branch climbing) run in with a wounded adult bull moose (15 feet away on the other side of a little tree maybe 5 feet tall) I was in the wrong on that one, stay the hell out of open ground when 1000 lbs is comin at ya. Got turned around and walked through the brush for 5 hours with no food water or ammo until dark. Shit got crazy but I walked out alive.

I mean like, no offense and stuff but you sound like you are pretty shitty at the whole hunting thing.

meat that is free of hormones, anti biotics, etc.

Oh yeah, like the organic meat at the grocery store. I feel very manly when I hit up that section too.

I should also point out that I'm all for the wheel and agriculture after this last hunting adventure lol

I'm definitely not the best, but I'm not gonna let that stop me from learning more about it. What would you suggest? Pussing out and eating the waaaaay over priced goods available in rural Alaska?

Branches break, bears are pretty quite in their element and you never know when you'll be put in a situation where your options are survive or die from exposure.

c'est la vie

I would if I could man, beleive me, for the internet alone haha but I would probably never leave norrath again. I have history here, a business to run, people who depend on me, a community that I play an active role in. There is just too much to turn my back on and I really do find a lot of satisfaction from walking into a room of friends, knowing I'm welcome and knowing that they can trust in me to come through for them, no matter the cost.

Ya never know though, got a spare room pal? I'm good for it.

I found a picture from one of my hunting trips as a kid you guys might enjoy.

I would suggest you use weaponry allowing a kill shot from outside of 50 yards and pack multiple first aid kits.

The one I hit was 350 yards out, neck shot right through the windpipe. The others came as a surprise, the power of natures camoflauge was underestimated by me. It really is their land lol
