Pay More Attention Hawkeye!
I Said & Plead before the Point System was ever Put in Place it Wasn't a Fair System & would eventually Fail!
But Nobody Listened to the Ole cat!
I Said:
What's gonna Happen down the Road in 20 to 30 Years?
Well Here We F'N Are!
I Said it would never be Fair for Young Hunters/Kids/Grandkids!
But Here We Are!
I'm gonna Tell You One More F'N Time!
You Listening?
The SmokePolers Hit The Rut better than the Rifle & Archery Hunters this year!
WTF You gonna Say Next?
Something like:
BY GAWD We better move that F'N SmokePole Hunt out of the Rut!
I Ain't Thinking about Myself!
I Could Care F'N Less if I Ever Take another Big Game Animal!
Evi-F'N-dentally you Haven't been in the Woods this Fall Much or You'd know the Rifle Hunters didn't get the Peak of the F'N Rut!
I Just come off the Mountain Tonight & Seen 200+ Elk/Several Small Herds/All Still Ruttin!
The General Rifle Hunters are gonna get in on the Tail end of the Rut!
Maybe You Can BAWL about them 'DAMN GENERAL' Elk Hunters!
Maybe get that Hunt Moved as Well!
JUDAS!
I know so many people in so many places
They make allot of money but they got sad faces
It Ain't Easy being Me!
