Journal of a Muzzleloader Spike Bull Elk hunt with Wade Cornia. October 30 2008
6:30 am. Hot chocolate
7:00 am. Grant, Chad, & Wade discuss the spike they have spotted and put together a game plan.
7:45 am. Josh giving directions.
10:30 am. Wade and I break off from the group and decide to hunt a different area. We split up and I push above him in the trees while he works below me. I make it back to the ATVs before he does.
1:30 pm. Little warm soup while I wait for Wade to get back to the bikes. I hear the 'whack' before the report of his muzzleloader. By the sound of it - whatever he shot it is hit good. I finish my soup and then go looking for him and presumably a dead elk. Throw in some extra water and granola bars for Wade. It is going to be a while before we get back to the bikes.
2:30 pm. It is thick in here. We look for blood and can find none. There must have been 10 - 15 elk when he jumped them. Fortunately the spike gave him about a 4 second window to shoot after he used his cow call. When we find him he is almost impossible to see in the deadfall. 25 yards from where he was shot.
Picture time. Any Bull Elk is a trophy.
5:30 pm. This one did not end here. We cleaned him out and decided to take him downhill to the closest road. Should have quartered him and taken back up to the ATV. With all the deadfall we need reinforcements. After further discussion with Josh and Grant we decide they will all 5 go in tommorrow morning and bring him out. I wish them luck and get off the mountain. It is My Dads birthday and I want to celebrate with him and the family. This is one time I'm glad it's not my elk on the ground.
If you are over 30 you will love this. Thanks Lisa

My sweet sister sent this one in. Another great email that gets the endless forward. Who has the time to put this stuff together? Thanks Lisa.
If you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious!!!!
When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes
about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking
Twenty-five miles to school every morning.
Uphill...barefoot...BOTH ways
Yadda, yadda, yadda
And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way I was going to layA bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard I had itand how easy they've got it! But now that... I'm over the ripe old age ofThirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today.
You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in Utopia!
And I hate to say it but you kids today you don't know how good you've got it!
I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet. If we wanted to know something, We had to go to the library and Look it up ourselves, in the card catalogue!!
There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter, with a pen!
Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a week to get there!
There were no MP3' s or Napsters! You wanted tosteal music, you had to hitchhike to the record store and shoplift it yourself! Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ'd usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up!
We didn't have fancy crap likeCall Waiting! If you Were on the phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it! And we didn't have fancy Caller ID either!
When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school,
Your mom, your boss, your bookie, a collections agent, you just
didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!
We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video Games with high-resolution 3-D
graphics! We had theAtari 2600! With games Like 'Space Invaders' and 'asteroids'. Your guy was a little square! You
actually had to use your Imagination!! And there were no multiple levels or Screens,
it was just one screen Forever!
And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!
You had to use a Little book called a TV Guide to find out what wasOn! You
were screwed when it Came to channel surfing! You had to get off
Your butt and walk over to the TV to change the Channel and there was no Cartoon
Networkeither! You could only get cartoons OnSaturday Morning. Do you Hear
what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK For cartoons, you spoiled Little rat-bastards!
And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat Something up we had to use the stove ... Imagine that!
That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy.You're
spoiled. You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in
1980-1970-1960-1950-1940- I'm stopping there, ain't that old!
Regards,
The over 30 Crowd
