RANGER ROPER'S ELK - FALL 2004 "Gee-whiz, Ranger Roper, what's that animal you got there?" "Well kids, this is an elk" "Is it sleeping?" "No, Rod & Todd, I killed it." Nice rack! The Ranger in his natural environment. Well done Ranger Roper. This past Halloween Kyle showed his deep love and affection for the Lone Star State. Only the ego of a Texan could write a check this big.
