Shoot.....I don't think I was down to his size since about 9th grade! I'f in the low 200's that will put me pretty lean and mean for elk camp. Down to 235 from 250 right now so I'm on the right track.

  I was playing football at 170 my freshman year in high school.  So, I understand.  It's been a long while since I was his weight as well.

  D-Rock, what do you weigh in at?  My guess is a buck sixty.

If an h2o hunter falls in the woods and no one is there does an h2o hunter make a sound?? :dunno:
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

A resounding thud with much whimpering.

That's a good sign if you are still able to whimper!
