My deer hunt started with a BANG

[Dan-o]

Left the house at 2:00 AM to get to my normal deer spot in time.

1/2 hour later, on the freeway doing 65, and experienced the biggest BANG imaginable.

Transmission just exploded.   Sparks flying out both side.   Spit a drive line.

Looks expensive under there............

Dude that sucks !!! Sorry man!  That's just a crappy way to start the season!!

[rackattack]

That's not good!!!  Hope it didn't tear to much up when that driveline cut loose.

[The scout]

bummer man! that sounds like some Friday the 13th crap

I think your truck finally buckled under all that biggie weight.

Seriously, though that sucks. Hope it's not as bad as it looks.

Thanks, brother.   

I knew I could count on you for some sympathy.   

All's well that ends well.

It just keeps getting better.......


My wife came and got us. She got there about 3:30.    Truck was packed with stuff for a 4 day tent camp.    It wouldn't fit in her car. So we grabbed the rifles and went home.

I just went to tow the truck to the tranny shop. 

Plan was to lighten camp and take my wife's Subaru.   

But the plan has changed again.   

My truck has been towed......   with my deer camp in back.   

Sure hoping it was State Patrol impounding.    That will piss me off because I was a safe distance off road.    But it won't piss me off as bad as if someone else decided they wanted it. 

ARE WE HAVING FUN YET?

I hope you get out there into the deer hills soon and find one that makes it all worth while. Good Luck!

On the bright side you have a wife that will rescue you at 3 in the morning. And you were actually sober

What kind of/year truck?

I am learning why people hate impound lots.

My current belief is that they are part the an organized crime family.......   and they operate in partnership with the State Patrol.

I've always been pro-LEO, but for the life of me I don't know why the patrolman felt compelled to tow me.   Right now I'm so pissed I smell a kickback.

Off hours gate entry fee, trespass fee, 2X the cost for a Saturday to to impound me, 2X the cost to tow it out on Saturday.

Frickin crooks.
