Wapiti
 |
| My Uncle and his Elk |
My two weeks in Montana hunting the elusive Wapiti was nothing less than an exciting unforgettable adventure. Although, I returned home shorthanded without a physical trophy, my experiences and knowledge I gained while hunting them will never be forgotten. My stalking of this obscure beautiful uninhabited creature has made me respect them and their lifestyle far greater than any other animal I have hunted. I felt like I was living in a classic Theodore Roosevelt Elk hunting story. Oh, to have lived during Teddy’s times! I’d give anything. His hunting books are a must read. Roosevelt said it best on the West, “It was here that the romance of my life began”.
Here are a few quotes from Theodore Roosevelt on the West and his ranch in North Dakota. They really have nothing absolutely to do with Elk hunting, but I was reading a lot of his writings recently and thought I would share a few recent quotes I’ve read of his:
“I heartily enjoy this life, with its perfect freedom, for I am very fond of hunting, and there are few sensations I prefer to that of galloping over these rolling prairies, with rifle in hand, or winding my way among the barren, fantastic and grimly picturesque deserts of the so-called Bad Lands…”
“There are no words that can tell the hidden spirit of the wilderness, that can reveal its mystery, its melancholy, and its charm.”
“Nowhere, not even at sea, does a man feel more lonely than when riding over the far-reaching, seemingly never-ending plains; and after a man has lived a little while on or near them, their very vastness and loneliness and their melancholy monotony have a strong fascination for him.”
“The farther one gets into the wilderness, the great is the attraction of its lonely freedom.”
“We are prone to speak of the resources of this country as inexhaustible; that is not so.”
“…wild flowers should be enjoyed unplucked where they grow.”
“The lack of power to take joy in outdoor nature is as real a misfortune as the lack of power to take joy in books.”
“There can be nothing in the world more beautiful than the Yosemite, the groves of the giant sequoias and redwoods, the Canyon of the Colorado, the Canyon of the Yellowstone, the Three Tetons; and our people should see to it that they are preserved for their children and their children’s children forever, with their majestic beauty all unmarred.”
T.R. after camping in the Yosemite National Park: “It was like lying in a great solemn cathedral, far vaster and more beautiful than any built by the hand of man.”
“Life is a great adventure….accept it in such a spirit.”
“It is also vandalism wantonly to destroy or to permit the destruction of what is beautiful in nature, whether it be a cliff, a forest, or species of mammal or bird. Here in the United States we turn our rivers and streams into sewers and dumping-grounds, we pollute the air, we destroy our forests, and exterminate fishes, birds and mammals – not to speak of the vulgarizing charming landscapes with hideous advertisements.”
I look forward to returning to Montana one day to once again challenge this magnificent valiant opponent. My first attempt has only made me respect this animal so much more. It’s not supposed to be easy, if it was easy, anyone could do it, as they say, and rightfully so. I believe less than 10% of Bull Elk tags were harvested last year in Montana. 1 in 10. Not real good odds by any reasonable standard. But odds I like and odds I want to take on. My Uncle and I had a wonderful trip together. My Uncle Wayne is 78 years old and this trip was more about getting to spend time with him out in the field than anything else. I did get to experience one of the most majestic sites I have ever witnessed. We pulled up on a herd of 150+ Elk grazing on a private ranch right off of the highway. It was absolutely breathtaking. We saw only one Bull Elk out in the wild where we could get a shot off and we agreed to let my Uncle take the shot since we were very close to the truck and he was not able to hike very far into the wilderness due to problems with his leg. I will get my shot someday. This one would have been a very tough shot for me, 450 yards, uphill and windy cold conditions. I spent every day from before days light to after dark either walking through the woods hoping to sneak up on one or sitting glassing hillsides and clearings. Our biggest problem was the lack of snow. The snow really drives the Elk down from their normal habitats in order to survive the tough winters. The snow also allows for the Elk to be tracked. And by no snow, I do not mean it wasn’t cold. It was cold; believe me, one morning I got out of the truck at 4 degrees with thick flurries blinding me as I headed off into the dark wilderness. Now that was fun morning.
Wapiti, I bid you adieu. Until we meet again.

WAPITI
I will be in ol’ Montana a week from tonight! Excited, would be an underestimation. I’m going out with my Uncle, Wayne Tucker, for a couple weeks to hunt Elk and Mule Deer. Oh boy, oh boy, do I love the West. I can’t wait to get back out there in the wild open country that I love so much.
Here are a few Montana quotes that keep me healthy:
Oh, I'll never leave Montana, brother. –River Runs Through It
Dear Jesse, as the moon lingers a moment over the bitterroots, before its descent into the invisible, my mind is filled with song. I find I am humming softly; not to the music, but something else; some place else; a place remembered; a field of grass where no one seemed to have been; except a deer; and the memory is strengthened by the feeling of you, dancing in my awkward arms. –River Runs Through It
The world is full of bastards; the number increasing rapidly the further one gets from Missoula, Montana. –River Runs Through It
But when I’m alone in the half-light of the canyon, all existence fades to a being with my soul and memories and the sounds of the Big Blackfoot River and a four-count rhythm and the hope that a fish will rise. Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's greatest flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of those rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.
I am haunted by waters. –River Runs Through It
I am haunted by waters. –River Runs Through It
There was something in the city that he said he couldn’t breathe
And there was something in the country that he said he couldn’t leave
Oh Montana, give this child a home
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana skies
-John Denver
God made Montana for the wild man, for the Piegan and the Sioux and Crow. –Ian Tyson
Ah' when I first saw Montana I knew I would love her. I'd ride her great ranges for the rest of my days. –Ian Tyson
My name is bob fudge, I died in Montana. –Ian Tyson

Summer of George
With all my beach trips this year, I feel like I got to have the Summer of George. Year started off great; my buddies and I all flew down from different cities (D.C., Louisville, Chattanooga) and met down in Ft. Myers for a long weekend. There’s nothing quite as great as having friends you know will always be there for you, and friends you might not see for years at a time, but can get together and laugh as though time never skipped a beat.
Next up was an awesome trip to Key West for one of my Sigma Nu fraternity brother’s bachelor party. I love Key West. I’ve been twice now; the first time was back in High School and I have to admit I love it more each time I visit. In high school we drove down and spent an entire week camped out on the beach on a small island and snorkeled all day long. Great trip then and was not let down one bit this second time. I love that city. I love its rich history, the locals and all the culture it has to offer. It is just a wonderful place on earth. When you’re there it hardly feels like you are even in the U.S. but a town somewhere across the Globe. When we weren’t out celebrating like we were 21, I was able to sneak off and do some solo sightseeing. I rented a scooter and was able to explore the entire island. My favorite was the home of Ernest Hemingway. His home was not only a master of art with design and building construction, but just being in the same house where he wrote some of the most wonderful works of art is a marvelous feeling. He was a remarkable man. It is rumored I took a midnight dip in his pool, but that has not been confirmed by the local authorities.
I also spent a week with my family at Amelia Island Plantation. The Tucker’s haven’t all been under the same roof in some time, so it was great to be all together once again. I also had a few trips down to Hilton Head Island with my Chattanooga buddies. We spent the whole week of July 4th there as well as Labor Day weekend. I love some Hilton Head Island. . I hope to one day live at the beach for half of each year. I’d also like to spend a couple years on my boat traveling across the globe to cities all around the world. I was quoted this past trip down as saying, “leaving the beach is worse than getting hit in the head with a hammer” and “leaving the beach is just awful, you get that awful gut wrenching feeling in your stomach when it’s about time to leave, it’s just painful, it feels like your girlfriend just broke up with you.” I love the beach to say the least and I always hate to leave. So goodbye Summer of George, I hope next year is just as lovely.

doc
Today, I had the upmost joy of having my annual physical with my family’s Doctor. Even now, the thought of sitting in a waiting room for over an hour and half for an appointment, made a year in advance, just makes me smile… Seems like just yesterday I was in there getting my last year’s physical. It is crazy how time can fly by. This year’s report was much better than last year. I’m not dying, so they tell me. I was not so thrilled last time when they found PVC’s on my EKG read out. It has been a long 12 months of Cardiologist appointments…6 or 7 times wearing 24 hour heart monitors….weight gain…the stares I got for being the only person under 80 in the cardiologist waiting room…limits on physical activities…no caffeine...numerous drugs trying to find prescriptions that might work… My heart still is not fixed. Every fourth heart beat, beats prematurely. Whether it was life’s stress, hereditary or a fast-talking hussy, it has been with me a year and it’s here to stay apparently. I go back to see my cardiologist in a few months to get checked out again, he gave up trying to fix it a couple months ago. It looks like an ablation procedure is the only thing that might cure it. I’ll keep you posted.

2011 Readings
The following are books I've read over so far this year. I included a few quotes/notes from some that caught my eye. If I had a pen and paper at all times there would be considerably more quotes. Several of these books could be one long marvelous quote.
The Noticer by Andy Andrews
“That’s why smart people get tripped up with worry and fear. Worry…fear…is just a misuse of the creative imagination that has been placed in each of us. Because we are smart and creative, we imagine all the things that could happen, that might happen, that will happen if this or that happens.”
“You must become a person that others want to be around!”
“One day, you will look back on this ‘worst time’ in your life as a fortuitous event. Even your worst times have value and can become, in retrospect, your best times.”
“Keep your fork…the best is yet to come!”
Rich Harvest, A Life in the Garden by Don Hastings
Anything Can Happen by George and Helen Waite Papashvily , 1940
“As I fell asleep, I thought to myself: Well, now, I have lived one whole day in America and---just like they say---America is a country where anything, anything at all can happen.”
“Yes, we was a pretty good company and once I made excuse to leave the table and go outside just so I could catch it all in my heart to keep----the voices floating way through the trees, the feathers of smoke rising from the chimney, the roasting baking buttery smell sifting out of the kitchen door, the windows shining with golden light---people being happy in my house.”
“So---for Home. I drink with pleasure,” I said. “For Home. Its floor is the earth; its roof is the sky.”
How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie, 1936
How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie, 1944
“I must lose myself in action, lest I wither in despair.” –Alfred Tennyson
“Get busy. Keep busy. It’s the cheapest kind of medicine there is on this earth---and one of the best.”
Napoleon and Helen Keller are perfect illustrations of Milton’s statement: Napoleon had everything men usually crave---glory, power, riches---yet he said at Saint Helena, “I have never known six happy days in my life”; while Helen Keller---blind, deaf, dumb declared: “I have found life so beautiful.”
“It is physically impossible to remain depressed while you are acting out the symptoms of being radiantly happy!”
“There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and, after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second.” –Logan Pearsall Smith
“Sometimes when I have too many things to do all at once, I sit down and relax and smoke my pipe for an hour and do nothing.” –Wilbur Cross
The True Measure of a Man by Richard Simmons III, 2011
“Men lust, but they know not what for: They fight and compete, but they forget the prize … they chase power and glory, but miss the meaning of life.” –George Glider
“Man would rather be envied for their material success than respected for their character.”– Christopher Lasch
Biographical Roundup by Dale Carnegie, 1944
“There isn’t a Jap living who can make me hurry.” –General Douglas MacArthur
Alone by Admiral Richard E. Byrd
Remarkable account of a great explorer who spent 5 months at the South Pole, ALONE, in 1934.
Below -60° cold will find the last microscopic touch of oil in an instrument and stop it dead. If there is the slightest breeze, you can hear your breath freeze as it floats away, making a sound like that of Chinese firecrackers. As does the morning dew, rime coats every exposed object. And if you work too hard and breathe too deeply, your lungs will sometimes feel as if they were on fire.
Few men during their lifetime come anywhere near exhausting the resources dwelling within them. There are deep wells of strength that are never used.
Four Years in Paradise by Osa Johnson
“Yes, ‘Remember!’----Certainly one of the loveliest words in the English language” –Osa Johnson
“What a life! Nothing but circus all day long and it doesn’t cost a cent!” –Martin Johnson
“…our friends think we’re having a tough time out here, and I suppose it isn’t any bed of roses by some of their standards, but to Osa and me it is paradise in every way. We are doing the work we want to do, living in the great sunny, healthy out-of-doors, enjoying good food from our own garden, accomplishing what we believe is useful and important work, and we feel richer than anyone we know…” –Martin Johnson”
“You know, Osa,” he said, “I think that we must be the two happiest people in all the world.
“I’m sure of it, darling,” I said (Osa)
“There’s nothing in the world quite like knowing that your friends haven’t forgotten you.” –Osa
“We felt that here at Lake Paradise, deep in the heart of Africa, we had really found the timeless peace on earth, goodwill toward men” –Osa at Christmas
“Always do right as you see it, and have Faith.”
“She gave her last pennies to carry me through. I could never forget her. Without her I would have been nothing.”
“And I was pleased as punch.”
“There we lay and watched the picture of our Africa in action, with everything seeming to eat everything else.”-Osa pg 318
“…only Osa and I and the elephants will know where Paradise is and Osa and I won’t tell.” –Martin Johnson pg 333
“It would be hard to leave this beautiful wilderness, and I said a little prayer that this spot might be kept as it was, to remain sanctuary for the animals who loved it.” pg 335
“I began to cry; it was too beautiful to leave.” pg 336
“Life is just too short,” Martin went on, “It’s a pity we can’t live five hundred years with so much beauty to enjoy and so much work to accomplish.” Pg336
“It’s a Garden of Eden, Martin. I hope it never changes.”
Mark Twain’s Autobiography, 1924 (published fourteen years after his death)
“What a wee little part of a person’s life are his acts and his words! His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself. All day long, and every day, the mill of his brain is grinding, and his thoughts, not those other things, are his history. His acts and his words are merely the visible, thin crust of his world, with its scattered snow summits and its vacant wastes of water---and they are so trifling a part of his bulk ! a mere skin enveloping it. The mass of him is hidden---it and its volcanic fires that toss and boil, and never rest, night nor day. These are his life, and they are not written, and cannot be written. Every day would make a whole book of eighty thousand words---three hundred and sixty five books a year. Biographies are but the clothes and buttons of the man---the biography of the man himself cannot be written.” –M.T.
“It kept us hoping and hoping during forty years, and forsook us at last. It put our energies to sleep and made visionaries of us --- dreamers and indolent. We were always going to be rich next year --- no occasion to work. It is good to being life poor; it is good to begin life rich --- these are wholesome; but to begin it poor and prospectively rich! The man who has not experienced it cannot imagine the curse of it!” p94
“The North thinks it knows how to make cornbread, but this is mere superstition. Perhaps no bread in the world is quite so good as Southern cornbread, and perhaps no bread in the world is quite so bad as the Northern imitation of it. P97
P110-115 good stuff
Descriptions of estates in Florence, Italy where he lived at one point. Awesome. 195-232
“We boast a good deal in America of our fire departments, the most efficient and wonderful in the world, but they have something better than that to boast of in Europe---a rational system of building which makes human life safe from fire and renders fire departments needless. We boast of a thing which we ought to be ashamed to require. “ M.T. Florence, Italy 1892
“Late in the afternoons friends come out from the city and drink tea in the open air, and tell what is happening in the world; and when the great sun sinks down upon Florence and the daily miracle begins, they hold their breaths and look. It is not a time for talk.”
A Short Guide to a Happy Life by Ann Quindlen
“When you come to a fork in the rode, take it!” –Yogi Bear
“No man ever said on his deathbed, I wish I had spent more time at the office.”
“If you win the rat race, you’re still a rat.”
“I have found that one horrible year has given me a perspective on all those things I wouldn’t otherwise have had.”
Gift from the Sea by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Let My People Go Surfing by Yvon Chouinard
“If everyone thinks you have a good idea, you’re too late.” –Paul Hawken
“Simplify, Simplify.” –H.D.Thoreau
“Make the best product, cause no unnecessary harm…”
“For centuries in Ireland, women hand knit sweaters for their seafaring husbands. The bulky, cable-stitched wool was constructed to ward off harsh elements. Each woman used a recognizable, family-specific patter of stitches, both to reflect love and pride, but also to be used as a means of identification if the husband were lost at sea and his body washed ashore.” –unknown author
“A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever his doing, and leaves others to determine whether hie is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.” –Francois Auguste Rene Chateaubriand
