I AM SO EPHING P!@$#$@

This not my hunting year 

I all ready told the story about aerly season and the late season started out... wellll....that why I am pissssseeeedddd

To start, I pulled in to Rimrock to stay the night before making the trek to the Nile area to hunt late elk. I went to unhook the jeep and it wont start  it would turn over but not run. I checked a few things under the hood, and found nothing that would be a dirrect cause to it not running. I just so happen to try and flood it out and I got it to hick-up. So I held the gas teh floor turned it over and eventually got it to run and it has run flawlessly sence. It was running just fine when I hooed it up to the truck and towed it over 

Then, the propane in my camper was teh next issue. I filled up the bottle before I left and had a hard time getting the refer to run, but I eventually got it on. I noticed the flame on the stove was not very high and the heat was only blowing cold air, and the hot water would not stay lit so I checked it out this morning before I went on the morning hunt. I found that there was ice in the connection not allowing a full flow of gas. After I cleaned out the ice and hooked it back up, I heard a leak in the hose. After closer inspection I noticed the hose was cracked and was leaking really bad and when i moved the hose it darn near broke completely off. So here I am in the middle of no where, th emps are in the teens, no heat, no way to cook foor and no way to keep the water tanks in my camper from freezing up 

So sence there is no place to get it fixed on Thanksgiving Day, I headed home............

The plan is to fix the camper in the morning and head back over, instead of a 4 day hunting trip, it will be 2 days of hunting 

Oh and I have to add, my generator would not start last night also, so I pulled teh plug to clean it and broke the porcelin in the process.
 

This has not been a kind year to me at all 


It did make my wife happy that I was home for turkey dinner..........the first time in 6 years or so

During late season, I always have the heater head to the tank so I can heat the trailer.  I always have a spare one burner stove that runs on smaller fuel cans, and the cold weather gear to sleep in. Colapsable water jug to get water from a creek, (after I drain the trailer/camper tank before it freezes). I've had dead battries.. Use a lantern! If the fridge can't be used, Put the food in a box on the roof or in the snow. All the camper becomes is shelter. Saves a trip home. Things freeze. Things break. Overcome. Improvise. HUNT.

That's a bummer, but it isn't like we have ideal hunting weather with the snow and rain making for a nice crust on top of the snow. Not many guys doing much but driving up and down that 1600 road all morning

I have a wall tent and have for years, but when I hunt alone, a wall tent is pain in the butt to put up by your self. I put it up and took it down one to many times on my own, so I bought a camper.

Hunting partners are not reliable and the only one I can rely on is my self
