Hi All, Well, it's Bambi killing time in Okieland. I am happy to report that I was a successful participant in this endeavor. I was near death myself after dragging my 9-pointer for about 1/8 mile and suddenly realized that I should not be doing work that a machine can do for me!! I went home and retrieved the mighty KLR650 and a tow strap. My mighty little titan easily towed the dead Bambi Dad to the nearest road. Let's hear it from anyone else who's used their bike for this purpose and also from you bleeding heart anti-hunters. Jim

Good on you, Jim, for exterminating another potential motorcyclist killer. Chris Lawson

I took my wife's KLR250 up for my Idaho deer hunt Oct 5th. I ended up shooting a 2x2 mule deer with my rifle rested across the handlebars. Then on the 25th I took my mighty 650 up for my Elk hunt. We rode up to a spot on my friends ranch at first light and as soon as the bikes were turned off I heard an elk bugling just a short distance away. I walked up a hill and shot a nice 5x4 bull just as it was getting light. It was the first elk I actually saw that morning but there was lots in the area. Later I saw the herd bull and he was huge. I fortunately had the option of riding down and getting the truck to load my animal up. I was lucky we were able to back the truck right up to it. I took a cool picture of my elk with my KLR right behind it but unfortunately I don't have a scanner. Kinda weird where I shot my deer it was not maybe 100 yards from where I got my elk. When I shot the deer there was 3 bulls and 6 cows in with the ! deer. The biggest bull was a 4x4. Its kinda unnerving to see these big elk during deer season so close and not be able to shoot one.

Hi Chris, You are absolutely correct. The deer is the most dangerous animal in the USA.( More people are killed in deer vehicle collisions than with any other animal.) I do try to do my part. He he he. Jim

Hi Dave, It sounds like you are having a great year!! My wife and I drove through Idaho this fall and we were really impressed with the parts of the state we saw. I'd love to hunt there sometime, but I'll bet even the KLR650 would have a tough time dragging a mature elk out of the woods. Good to hear from you. Jim

Remember a few days ago the track came off the extremely large machine that pulls the rocket to the launch pad at Kenedy Space Center? Along I came on the mighty KLR.. hooked my tow downs to the load and it's a done deal. Have to admit the Kenda 270 rear 'tar' made a hell of a difference. Dan
