Title: stanley steemer fills his tag or tags his fill....
Post by: bigdave on October 29, 2008, 03:30:08 PM: I work in north idaho. I often enjoy watching the stateline elk herd as they range in the Rathdrum prairie/Stateline area.

This morning on the way to work just east of the stateline, the stanley steemer guy had hit a really nice bull and put him dead in the ditch. It was a real bummer to see. It was the biggest bull I had seen from this area, at least a 5 point.

By the way the, the carpet cleaner guy is gonna need a new van. I think he tagged his fill of big bull elk.

PS. note to self.....keep camera in car at all times. sorry no pics.

Post by: bigdave on October 29, 2008, 08:21:23 PM: You make me laugh! Up until 2003? (or whenever those analog phones no longer could get service) I had one of those riding the dash of my truck. I buy things and then use them till they fall apart or service is no longer available. All my friends laughed and made fun of me. :chuckle: I guess I could have used the camera on my "new" phone, but I would have been late for work just learning how to use it.

When I moved out here to WA in '99, I still had it and after some frustration, convinced the guys at AT&T it was possible to keep that phone as a secondary device on the same number as my new 'flip' phone. Again, the whopping 3 W output saved me again after a mechanical failure where no flip phone would've had the power to hit a tower.

I kind of miss not having that bad boy packed behind the truck seat for that 'just in case' scenario.
