Where Matthew got his tag there was a zoo of hunters in the motorized areas. Where we were, we saw over 200 elk a day and almost no other hunters. It was almost like we had our own private ranch.

After I drew the tag for Nevada and Matthew got his tag I called my buddy in Arizona and told him I didn't want to draw another tag because it would be a big disruption to my schedule. He told me, 'Put in for this one. Your odds are so remote you'll never draw it. A total of 9,400 people applied for 50 tags last year.' Well I drew that one too.

I was surprised when I saw Patrick Robinson commit, but I don't know if it's going to stick. I feel like it could go either way.

I looked up and saw and elbow at the square (on the backboard). I knew it was Dante because he?s the only one on our team who can jump that high.

Wildlife, we are constantly told, would run loose across our towns and cities were it not for the sport hunters to control their population, as birds would blanket the skies without the culling services of Ducks Unlimited and other groups. Yet here they are breeding wild animals, year after year replenishing the stock, all for the sole purpose of selling and killing them, deer and bears and elephants so many products being readied for the market. Animals such as deer, we are told, have no predators in many areas, and therefore need systematic culling. Yet when attempts are made to reintroduce natural predators such as wolves and coyotes into these very areas, sport hunters themselves are the first to resist it. Weaker animals in the wild, we hear, will only die miserable deaths by starvation and exposure without sport hunters to control their population. Yet it's the bigger, stronger animals they're killing and wounding--the very opposite of natural selection--often with bows and pistols that only compound and prolong the victim's suffering.

The world is made up of two classes - the hunters and the huntees.
