Hey LA, me again. Really enjoyed the story of your hunt. Maybe you should always post it via cell phone. I confess that I pride myself in storytelling (never let the facts get in the way of a good story) but really liked the way you laid it out....really the tale of a hunter. I encourage you to continue your story telling. Does not have to sound like a best seller...tell like we was around the tailgate.
I have about an inch thick 3 ring binder of short stories I'm gonna leave behind for my grandsons (not too soon I hope). Some of my best stories are about things that happened when I didn't even see what I was hunt'in for. Even emails to my Dad. You'd be surprised how fast the stories pile up....a great thing to leave behind eh? Maybe you're too young to appreciate it yet (just wait).
Got a rig just like yours except its green & has scratches from the Skagit unit. Think I've seen yours before....ever been up on the Hamilton mainline or the DNR land nearby? Perhaps DNR land between Arlington & Darrington or H2O's C-Post Road? Don't know the Monroe unit much at all, a couple of years past I walked in behind the state fish hatchery. Saw a ton of sign & a gutpile. Even got chewed out by a park ranger for stumbling into the park boundry w/my Marlin....lol.
