So the story goes,,, I start out of the truck stright up hill the most direct way i can find to get to the peak since I hear there is a road closure a couple miles from the gate i usually park at, I make a harvest on a respectable buck at 1:30 pm, by the time i make it to the 'GRAVEL PIT" below the peak im completely out of water. My buddie says i will go get the truck and drive around to the closure and bring up the deer cart. I said ok since i really couldnt see getting the buck out the way we came in. That was at 5:30 pm. At this point im am starting to cramp up bad and getting terrible headaches so i decide to try to find some water that doesnt have cow poop in it, no luck. And then out of the blue,,,, i see two water bottles stashed under some rocks, well i thought about it for a few mins, then downed them both, left a dollar in each empty bottle and put them back,kind of a douch move but i was desperate. So if you are the guy that left those bottles up there,,, i owe you, i will get you an 18 pack of your favorite beer or bottle whiskey and bring it to you. You saved my butt and i thank you. By the way we got back to the truck at 2 mins after midnight. ugh. going to get a pack frame for next year and learn how to bone out a deer after that fiasco.

Great job! The bottles would have frozen this winter and probably broke anyway so you saved the bottles look at it that way. Oh and by the way WHERE are the picture's of your buck? :chuckle:
-
Heres a cruddy cell phone pic, only one ive got on the computer. Opening day , the bio guy guessed him at 4 1/2 years. Shot was at maybe 30 yards.
-
Yeah i felt like a dirt bag for drinking them but i was in bad shape. I hope i get the chance to make right with the guy (or gal) who left them.
-
nice deer....well if you found em that easy I guess whoever left em must not of wanted em that bad :chuckle: when i leave something I make it pretty hard to find if I really want it.
-
awesome buck! :tup:
-
Good looking buck :tup:
-
no problem.I will tell you we're to send the wisky and beer.
-
Sweet story
Nice touch on the dollar
-
I was a little pissed when I hiked back down to find two bottles of water that now had dollar bills in them.... Glad you made it out with a quenst thirst... I'm still trying to recover.... That bottle of whiskey will be much help... Nice buck though...

As was I, I have to say though what you are proposing is a novel thing my friend, I don't even have a clue as to where Ramsey Peak is at. Was hoping that it was H20 since he just lives up the hill from me then I could stop by his place and take a swig :chuckle:
-
lol, you guys kill me, I just hope whoever it was is a member of this board. But hey ,next year during modern you are ALL welcome to swing by my cabin 4 miles up the west chewuch and have a few beers!
-
No idea where this happened....I stand by my comment about drinking it though....

Now I know where your at, got to love google maps. I was over in that neck of the woods last year. Never made it out this year :'( so lets see what happens next year :tup:

Right on , lots of ground , not really alot of guys in the woods, just on the roads.

This is so true.

Nice buck! :tup: Glad the water was there in your time of need, that was a major score.
-
Yeah me too , i think next year i will take a few extra and put em in the same place, i suppose like was said they may freeze and break but still maybe it will help somebody like me. :)

Late hunt or general rifle season. I know a bunch of guys from Lynden that hunt that ridge during general season.
