we're back

[csutton7]

we survived our (bullshit and me) trip into the Idaho wilds- got late start(left SF at 12:30pm)-toasted a cow on HWY 21 around the dam (around midnight) with my truck(9000+lbs vs 350lbs)-she was in the middle of the road and of course turned around as I was trying to miss her--smacked her at about 30mph and sent her sprawling, hard to stop a truck that heavy from 55mph-never found Moosie in Lowman-tried to sleep in truck at the SouthFork Lodge for --found where Moosie stays the next morn as we drove by, but figured he was long gone by 7:30am, so we didn't stop--packed in to Loon Creek--hiked and climbed a little for 5 days-saw 4 cows, 5 calves, one doe with horns and a few does and fawns-left Loon Creek went to Ketchum hunted one day-hiked and climbed a little-saw a doe and fawn on our way out and some elk-one bull, cows and calves(no tag for this area-figures)--drove home--not much to really report--had a good time as being out in the mtns is great--sure wish we would've seen more, but that's the way it goes sometimes-Bullshit has some nature pics and may add a little about his first Idaho adventure-chris

Sometimes its better to be a truck.

 

[Moosie]

What is a doe with horns ?!?!?

Bummer on the hunt, You missed an andenture with me. Check out the Moosies adventure story

Sorry ya got skunked... Good time with your brother at least ?

 

[csutton7]

doe with horns = a buck a very, very small buck--

Moosie--we didn't know exactly where you were--we couldn't find the lodge, so we just slept in the truck at the Southern Fork Lodge-and then of course we saw you as we drove by the next morning, but I knew you were long gone--plus at 3am I'm not sure you'd've wanted to see our smiling faces--

I had a good time--would've been nice to nail a buck or two at least--and we could've shot the small one at 75yds numerous times, but we chose not to---on to next year--chris
