Now that was a suprise...my 10 seconds of fame
My wife, knowing of my love to hunt and fish in the west (haven't fished yet, but talk about it alot) so for Christmas she got me a subscription to Rocky Mountain Game & Fish. I just received the September 2008 Edition and while waiting for a friend started to flip thru the elk & mule deer articles (OK, I was looking at the pics) for a good one to read later on.
So on Pg33, was an article on New Mexico's state record elk that scored 441 3/8...flip a few pages more to pg 36 and an article titled "Colorado OTC Elk"...basically saying that if you didn't draw a tag, don't worry, Colorado is the place to be hunting....so then I flip the page, and low and behold yours truely has a pic of the bull I took in Unit 65 last September within the article...
Anyway, not sure how many of you get it, but thought it was kinda cool.

I've also been in the newspaper more times than I can count for baseball and hunting, and one time fishing down in Florida! (once again thanks Dad)

that's neat. Congrats!
I got my name,etc. in a couple magazines years ago when I killed this buck. He had an antler piece from a fight rammed into the roof of his mouth. I heard a loud noise minutes before I shot him and I am betting that is when it happened.
