Feelings, A poem for Dink

[Ben Lamb]

I’m staring down the barrel of Rifle Opener 2011. I swore this year would be different, but it’s not. I hiked my fat ass all over the south hills of Helena, and I even made some progress, at least until August rolled around. I hate the heat. Summer days are simply the banal immediacy of waiting for fall. They make me and our big, black dog lazy, both of us unwilling to head into the outdoors for further sweating.

Ben - You won't be saying "Sorry" when you get to grill some of my delicious antelope hot dogs on an open fire later this fall.

 

[Ben Lamb]

I always say "thanks!" when stuffing my face.

I had no idea Helena was such a Metrosexual hotbed. Explains why a guy I know moved up there recently.

I guess my major concern with the lack of physical fitness is I was counting on you and Buzz to carry me through the Fantasy Hunt.

I'm so out of shape, out of want to and out of reason I didn't hike across the valley Sunday to pick up 5 verified sheds. I'm either slipping or getting old.

 

[Ben Lamb]

I'll lose 30 pounds by the time Thanksgiving weekend rolls around. Did you get Buzz's number on the lopes?

We need someone in this godforsaken team to do some math.

 

[Dinkshooter]

Buzz's lope looked at least 83 inches to me.

 

[Ben Lamb]

We're using SCI numbers, so double it, and then dunk it in some sweet crude.

I have a feeling I am going to eat enough to add 10 this weekend. I better find a few animals to drag out to offset the calorie load .

Buzz's Lope 83+83+88.31(todays oil barrel price)=254.31

I have a old guy assist for elk so I am also awarding our team 20 pts for that as well. They want to add points for taking kids hunting, I'm getting my points as well.

254.31+20=375

Have not seen anything else yet that beats us. Go Triple B, Go!!!!!!!!

Holy crap. I forgot about the assists. Taking the old man and his whale bone leg out for opener on some whitetail. Extra points for taking a guy that hasn't hunted since his teen years too, right?

Erik - Bring plenty of pepto. Still trying to decide what the prize will be this year. Rob has a great one.

 

[Spitz]

DInk, I'll be most of the way up to your place this weekend on my deer hunt. That's 4 more sheds than I've picked up all year so I'll gladly carry you on my back across the valley if you point out those sheds.

 

[Dinkshooter]

I'll just give you the GPS coords.

 

[Spitz]

You no want a piggy back ride? Probably spoiled by that big beautiful neighbor of yours.

 

[Dinkshooter]

I only do piggy fronts.

 

[Buschy]

Probably spoiled by that big beautiful neighbor of yours.

Ah Spitz, the hottie neighbor has been spoken for a long time ago by me. If things don't work out between us, your next in line. Dink keeps a close eye on her for me and if and interlopers come sniffing around, I get a call. Just sayin! :hump:
