Nice but cruel Joke or government spies?

#1 Post by Carpdaddy »

Okay What’s happening here, are we being spied on, something is amiss...
Here’s the story. In 2016 some of you may remember that I was dealing with Kidney cancer and had to have surgery. During this ordeal that left me very weak and useless I was lucky/unlucky enough to get drawn for the most coveted thing I could dream of, I was drawn for the Ky Elk lottery hunt! This I had put in for since there was such a thing and never gotten drawn, suddenly while unable to do anything much physical I get a tag! I did have some very dear friends to take me out a little but could not get serious.
Update: If you have read my post in the prayer request thread you know that I am dealing with some health issues again, waiting now for a call from Doc to set up lung biopsy, but I got a different kind of call! I was contacted from the Ky dept of fish and wildlife resources to inform me that I was one of the 25 chosen to hunt the newly opening Lake Barkley State Park hunt in November! :mrgreen: I couldn’t hope for a better hunt, I sure am hoping and praying that I will be able! Now; is someone spying on me and drawing my name when they figure I can’t hunt? If so that is cruel. But I aim to trick them and be healed, and go hunting!

Here's hoping that will work out for you.
And prayers for healing. 🙏

It does make you wonder.

I hope you get to go. It's great how a few states have re-introduced the elk and now they have enough of them to have managed hunts.

Well, here's prayers up that if so, you'll make them a laughingstock by harvesting a monster. God is good, so get ready, Tony.

You are in our prayers, Tony.

Just think how long a freezer full of elk meat will last.

You will be passing through my part of state on the way. I had no clue they were starting a elk hunt over there. Good luck.

Misunderstanding...
Either I wasn’t clear or you guys read it wrong, since this is the second one it must have been me. :o . I was drawn for the Elk hunt in 2016, in this end of the State, and at that time like now I was sick and unable to hunt but very little. This year I am drawn for the Lake Barkley State Park Deer hunt in early November. Their first time to open it this time of year. Sorry for the confusion.

Yep, went back and read, it was me, I didn’t specify that this hunt was for Deer.
