Dangit!!
« on: November 06, 2012, 12:19:43 PM »
 I finally spotted what I was actually looking for! I roll in at pitch black dark, not even in the woods yet, I round a corner and there they were, the whole dang road was colored on Rosie, over 15 head, as soon as my headlights hit them they bolted like a freight train and flew off a big cliff into the darkness, ok cool, wind is at my back so I decided to head down the road about a mile in the direction they were headed where im ahead of them and downwind instead, so i creep in where I will have great sight, i wait for an hour and a half, no sign, so I start creeping in their direction, after several miles and no sign I bagged it and headed for lunch  :bash: It sucks to lose them but at least I saw them and now where to find them  :IBCOOL:

damn I had my victory speech all planned out while I was waiting for them to show  :chuckle:

 :yeah: X's 2  packs come in handy for storage and make it so you don't have to go back to camp or the truck. :tup:  Just me but I would've pulled over and parked and followed them, because they probably didn't go far.  At least sometimes they don't. :chuckle: :chuckle:
