Noharleyyet: Better hide your guns...

[RobG]

I'm in Mckinney, Texas, this week...

I have a contract with a 4-5 person company that could turn into a good job so I'm down here working with them - seeing how we all get along. One of the crew is originally from North Carolina and he is real interested in elk hunting since he can only hunt leases here in Texas. While at lunch yesterday he kept asking questions about how big elk are and how you get the animal's meat out when you are so far from a road. I kept telling him that you bone it out in the field and then pack it out on your back but he didn’t seem to get it. The NC guy was like "do you gut it out or what?" So I kept trying to tell him that you can cut the meat off the legs and the backstraps and shoulder blades while it's laying there on the ground and how you don't really have to gut the animal but if you don't you have to be extra careful or you could wind up cutting into the intestines and make a big mess and about then the CEO, who is from Texas, says y'all should change the subject because the food just arrived. I think he was fixin to vomit as they say here.

Awkward lunch moment... Glad I don't live in a state where you can't even talk about gutting elk at lunch without making someone green.

Why Rob, you sound like quite the raconteur.

drthornton on this site lives in McKinney, TX. I've had the pleasure of helping him pack an elk out of the Wyoming mountains.

Why Rob, you sound like quite the raconteur.

Even after a google search I'm not sure if I've just been insulted.

Tell me where you're staying and I'll have the Dallas Chapter of Young Republicans come serenade you.

Welcome to Mother Texas Rob. Were you closer I'd buy dinner.

BTW, if any of those corporate wheels were natives, you'd'a been talking about wimmens and cigars...truth.

I used to go to the dictionery and pick a word to expand my vocabilary, now I just read Hunt Talk.

I live in McKinney but am in St Louis on business this week otherwise I come over and meet you. For the most part, whitetail hunters on leases simply gut and back a pickup and load up. I've done the gutless on an Elk and plan to do it on my next whitetail as well.

See I told you there was a hunt talker in McKinney. What's up stranger?

Actually sounds like something your Governor and legislature mandates these days.

Seriously funny thread. Texas, tombstone and a brokeback reenactment between WV and drthorton. Good stuff!

At least I found this out before talking WV into coming out for an elk hunt. I'm Texan by marriage so I'd best not take a chance.

RobG- One thing I learned about the Dallas area is they are foodies to the core. Someone sent this video to my wife a while back and the sad thing is I recognized half the places this gal mentions in only a handful of visits. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lNghnX-ys8

I gain a good 5lbs it seems from tex mex every visit.
