Been doing the school thing and spending every chance I get out in the woods and enjoying what nature has to offer.

Bull Elk Spike shed about 18" long


Bull Elk Shed 4point (plus a nub)


6 point non-typical. Officially Subtotal: 128 0/8 Final Score: 116 1/8


Complete 2007 shed found from the above deer


Other than that, nothing new down this direction. I've been rather inactive as of late, but as soon as spring hits and until the car is sold, I will be attempting to reconnect with the Northern crowd and head south to support the Medford crew.

I will also be a hold out and continue flying the Ascension colors

 

Looks like you area eating god this year.....been a long time since I have had any elk.......nummy

 

Todd, I am coming down to watch you eat god LOL!!!

how have you been buddy?

 

yeah I guess he cannot eat god.......lol........but he will be eating good........ although elk does have a heavenly flavor to it.....

 

probably taste like chicken...

Not much going on.. School is in full swing, so that has been my main concentration. This is my last offical term before I go to clinicals (O.J.T.), which is very exciting. So basically after this term I will be working (unpaid slave labor) in a hospital somewhere in the valley until March of 2010. I'll have quizes and such each week and manditory stuff I'll have to do while I'm in clinics, but no offical type classes.

Basically I have a perma-grin pasted on my face because things are getting close and I can see the light at the end of this long and dismal tunnel.

What the heck you been up to ? Anything new up there (other than the abnormal weather)?

 

Not much, I'm proud of you. nothing like sticking to something and making it happen.

On the other hand my never ending servitude has been transferred over to top foods in Redmond and the store is starting to do really well, so I guess I will have a job until my kids get out of school.

 

todd you found the shed horns from the year before of the same buck you shot??

 

<< just like the title.... 'non-peta safe'...lol... thats funny

good to hear your almost done... my other 1/2 just started some saturday only classes to get some basic requirements out of the way... then nursing school starts... once she figures out what school/program to go to..

 

Hey good to here from you Todd,
Nice sheds.... AND either that's the smallest pygmy Elk on the back of your Jeep or the rest of them ^^^^ are blind, I love venison hmmmmmmmm

 

nice!

 

I know, hard to believe. The sheds were found side by side (bedding area) right near where he was hanging out. One side has the exact same point configuration as this years rack. So, beings that it is an oddball (non-typical rack configuration), the chances of another deer running around with the same set is very remote.

Doug, sounds like you got a good thing going.. congrats... ( I so miss working).... Course the grass is always greener..

Nursing is the way to go.... endless supply of clients (boomers) coming through for the next 25 to 30 years easy.


and you're right.. that is the smallest pygmy elk ever..lol.. Is there such thing as a pygmy elk???? lol.. it's just a blacktail buck.

 

very nice Todd, glad to hear that school is going good and that you're getting close to the end. Hope to see you around this summer.

 

Hey Todd glad to see ya back on SL. Sounds like school is going well. Clinical is really a good experiance and a lot more interesting then class room. I took my Paramedic trainning at PCC (Pasadena City) and we attended a few RN classes like A&P etc. Now I kick myself for not just going for the RN program as they had a 2 yr program at that time. But hind sight is 20/20. Hope to see ya this spring or summer.

 

Nice 6-point! Yeah...where's the PNW "Fur, Fins & Feathers" thread?????!

 

oh i tottally belive it but dang not very many people can say they have a complete set of sheds from the year before of a harvested animal.thats awsome!!!
were you on private or public land?
and btw nice buck!!


fur,fins,and feathers thread??? awsome idea..!!!

 

what does PETA stand for?

 

Protection and Ethical Treatment of Animals, I think, I don't get their newsletter, eat way too much meat, lol.

 

I thought it was People Eating Tasty Animals

 

It's People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. There i a movie out I'll see if I can find a link. Those PETA folks are crazy!

 

Found it

Be advised this movie is graphic! If you do watch it keep an open mind to the lengths these people go to save every animal. I am by no means a PETA supporter so don't flame me. I Love Bacon!
