Well done, John! You'll be eating good this winter.

Two things:
Will you email me the finer points of the hunt?
AND
The only thing more impressive would've been if you (John), like our friend Anne, had been 8 1/2 months pregnant at the time. (She's going to trump all hunting stories, this year, with that detail...)

The Farmer said...

Farmers Wife, would it help if he said he had a flaming case of hemorrhoids. Or perhaps really bad heartburn, or maybe he had to pee before he could shoot but didn't dare because the elk would run off? Or perhaps he shot it with a .22 rimfire ..improved, at 400 yards.

Wow John! MONSTER Elk! I agree with the Farmers Wife. Details please! Beautiful pictures!

Anne said...

HOLY MOLEY - that is quite the beast! I'm pretty sure that kind of thing could give a person hemorrhoids and make them have to pee (or at the very least, a severe case of acid reflux). Glad to see you got the big one and also glad to verify that by 8point, you didn't just mean 4 by 4. :) BTW, Eric says he is no longer my proxy at Turkey Shoot this year; he says if I want to beat you, I have to be the one that does it. After seeing this, I'm not so sure I can come up with anything!

You go John. Sometimes pictures really are worth 1000 words huh Marisa!

The Farmer's Wife said...

You'll have to excuse the Farmer...they're still trying to get his new medication regulated....

Marisa said...

Farmer, remember, this is Moments with MARISA! While John was all about putting up the pics (and evidently the story I didn't get to), be careful how you elude to pregnant ladies. (I was one recently, and hemorrhoids, heartburn and frequent urination are only a drop in the bucket),
Farmer's Wife, I sure hope they get his medication regulated soon!
