I figured I'd better tell the story before ELKDIESEL tells it!! After a call from ELKDIESEL to see if I wanted to go up for a quick run up the hill in pursuit of a bull he had seen, and agreeing to go, we discussed a few topics and making arrangement to the possiblity of no attendance to work if we happended to connect on a bull, he told me cell phone service can be found in some areas and taking the phone up in case I needed make a confirmation call that I would not be making it back (BBD). After a few more topics the conversation ended and the next thing I knew I was at his house the next morning ready to tie a bull to a tree for him. After a quick ride to the location of the elk we began an run up the hill to the entrance point and commenced an easy slow "high alert" walk down a road the elk have been up and down. After a few minutes we heard a bull chuckling close by. Darn wind was not helping but we stay put to listen as we had a differance in opinion on his exact location and hoped our scent had carried over him in the wind. After another minute we heard, at exactly 6:30am "brrrring, brrring, brrring, brrring". What the..... who forgot to silence their phone? I have never taken a phone with me before while archery elk hunting and I did put it on silence. The I-Phone has an override for alarms and since the phone is new to me I was not aware that would happen. The worst part is I could not get the zipper to slide so I could open the pocket and shut it off and it kept on ringing. Man, that sucked!! No more cell phones hunting. That is why I never took them before. Anyway, I wanted to tell my side before the story grows and I never hear the end of the "never ending alarm". Thanks for the good times ELKDIESEL!!!
