When a hunting trip almost becomes a life changing event

[stickbuck]

there's no shame in tethering her to you on sketchy terrain glad she came out and just has a story to tell  ok   

I honestly never thought of that and is probably something I should look into. Thanks for the idea.

When are you guys heading back out?

We will be heading back either Thursday or Friday afternoon and hunting through the weekend. We may add a few after school hunts in as well.

That's an offer I wouldn't pass up.

Scary stuff.  Glad it turned out ok and she still has the interest to get back after that.   She sounds like a trooper.  It was good to meet you up there Friday.  I have no doubt she will seal the deal.  Any 8 yr old that chooses to sleep in a tent instead of a close by hotel deserves a nice sheep.  We all talked about how cool that story was.  Good luck......

Holy smokes!  Scary stuff.

I'm with the other fellow that mentioned tethering her off, with the caveat that you do so only when you are sufficiently anchored

Inadvertently pulling your daughter off a cliff with you is something neither of you want to happen.

Good luck to you.  I'm headed over there in a couple days too.

It sounds like it did become a life changing event in a positive way in that that it reminds us how fragile life can be. Thankfully all turned out OK.

I've been considering the purchase of an inReach satellite communicator recently, going back and forth thinking nothing bad could happen to me...I think I just decided to do it.

Just a thought as I didn't see you mention it, would be a good idea to get her in and have a good thorough exam done, especially with the back.  I rolled my truck with my entire family in it in Dec 2015, we were all buckled up and made it through with no noticeable injuries outside of being stiff and sore, a little whiplash etc.  However, my daughter's back has given her problems ever since, made it tough to play volleyball in high school and still gives her fits.  Better safe than sorry.

Good luck to your daughter with that tag, it will be a memorable season for sure.

wow scary

Those life changing moments can come outta nowhere. 

I had one 8 days ago 

Glad to hear your lil girl is on the mend and ready to go hunting again

I'm glad it didn't go further south on you both. Good luck in filling that awesome tag.

roger that! I glass decent, skin good, and pack even better. I can provide enough ice to chill a boned out elephant too

Sounds like she has the hunting bug if she wants to go back out after that! Glad to hear everyone's okay
