.270 Report post Posted August 8, 2009 my mom had a 64 impala. the truck was big enough for 3 nice muleys at least because we got 3 in it once. 2 of my uncles shot 2 really good 4x4's at greys peak and another uncle got a 3x3 down the juan miller road later that day and we hauled em all home in the impala. the other vehicle we took that day was my uncle's vw. we took down the tule flat road to get the 4x4's out. there was me, my 2 uncles and both bucks in the vw. one rolled up in the back seat with me and the other stretched across the fenders under the hood. great time.

Heck, two mule deer and three men in a VW is crowded, but let me tell you my story. In about 1959 or 1960, two friends and I jumped a herd of elk on the road that used to connect Mexican Hay Lake with Poole Corral and what now is Winn Campground and shot three small bulls.

I hope you like the book. The last I heard the built pages had been shipped to someplace in Asia for printing. It takes months for shipments by boat, but printed books are expected to be back in the States in time for the SCI convention in January. I, for one, sure would like to see one.
