Post by: dreamunelk on August 05, 2011, 03:35:49 PM: Am I weird? Nope just take my elk hunting seriously! Be neat to have a neighbor who knows what a bugle is! I live in a area where most of the house/ cabin around me are weekend or vacation places. So often many different people use through out the year. I am the strange neighbor who makes odd sounds and shoots from his roof at times.
