A good weekend on the mountain
« on: September 18, 2012, 06:18:31 PM »
Well, another year on the high hunt and another year with no deer. Although our main goal was bucks it is always nice to experiance some sort of success in the high country.

People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

Yeah it really is steep. When I got to the saddle in the pic I looked back and said "Never again,  again."

The bugs were pretty bad. You know its funny how when your exhausted while packing out a critter the only thing you can think about is getting back to your truck and getting home. And then when you get home the only thing you can think about is getting back up on the mountain.
