How do I put a curse on someone's elk hunt?
Some guys at work all got together and put in for next years elk bow hunt draw. They all know I am a sportsman and didn't mention it to me. I know I'm being a B about this, but man am I chapped. I guess I don't really want to put a curse on these guys, but wouldn't mind doing something to at least eat my sour grapes. Son of a ..... By the way the draw deadline is closed, so I can't do my own draw or I think I would just so that I could be happy for these guys if they draw out and all get elks:( Thanks paget. I thought of that, but I only do public land hunts, so it is hard to show people up without putting a lot of time in. I think that sort of thing costs money too, but if your doing charity work for poor lost souls, I'll give it a try. To the rest of you guys, way to kick a guy when he's down. I realize that I am not wanted on the hunt, that's what hurts. I just learned that the deadline has not yet passed. I guess I should thank these guys for making me realize how much I want to go and hunt these majestic animals. I'm going to put in. If I get drawn I will go with my dad.
