Crazy Larry's B-Day Elk Hunt

[RadSav]

When I found out my best friend and hunting partner was turning 50 this year I immediately called Craig at Sawtooth Outfitters in BC and booked us an elk hunt.  Hunting elk is how we started our friendship and I felt it fitting to take him up north to one of my favorite spots to celebrate chasing some big bulls far away from the rat race that has become our usual stomping grounds.

Well, the antelope are all capped and butchered, the truck is loaded with 420 quarts of cooler space, a new bow is in my bag, the backpacks are filled with 10 days of gear and I think just possibly we might be ready! 

We point the Dodge north at 3am toward Kimberley.  I can't wait to bugle in a big bull for him.  Even though success will mean six hours of packing meat.  A small price to pay for some special no wifes allowed time - our first in nearly 20 years.  Hopefully his 50th year will remain perfect adding a bull to his spring bear and dandy Wyoming antelope.

We will be out of cell range most of the time.  I will try to post whenever we get to an area with coverage.  This is going to be a good time!

Happy birthday "Crazy Larry"

That's awesome.

I'm about to turn 50 and I need a new friend.

  I know a guy thats name is Larry, but I call him Crazy Larry. The only thing he hunts is anyone that steps a foot on his property  Not kidding either.


Anyways, good luck, and have fun

I'm not talking to you until I see pics of your broadheads. Of course I've been known to have a faulty memory so this might not last long.

Well I left the house with a bad feeling.  Now I am at the lodge while Larry hunts. I am waiting for a ride into Cranbrook to hopefully get the right parts to fix my truck.  Keep blowing a 30 amp Engine Control fuse. Hopefully just need a new relay but looks like I may be trying to find a bad injector with minimal tools and 20 miles in the bush.

Sure hope Larry kills a nice one to make it worth it.

I'd be looking for a bad ground, pinched wire somewhere.....something like that.

You could pull relays under the hood 1 at a time to see if one will make the short go away...i.e. pull starter relay, turn key on, see if it goes away. You'lll need a bunch of fuses.
