Stoke the Fire!
Keenan:
Wolf I also grew up in the Valley around Cottage Grove so started out hunting blacktails in the bush. So definitely know what your talking about. Also was a pipeline welder for years and did allot of high pressure and boiler work. Did miles of ex ray certified stuff years ago for hydro plants. Looks like we have allot in common. ::)
Little John:
I have also welded for a living since the mid seventys. Prefer plants and stations over pipelining. No special hunting stories come to mind good enough for this thread but have made dozens of bow hunting trips for elk and each one is a trophy in its own. Love hearing other folks experiences. Kenneth
Pat B:
Hey Kenneth, how about the one when you had to pack out the crippled grengo! ;D
Little John:
Pat is refering to the time when he came out to share a hunt with me in 2006. A great adventure but the eld did not cooperate very well. I think I got to stalk on cows a couple of times and the poor gringo never got to see an elk but got to run after a bugling bull that had traveling on hiss mind. Hard to catch up to that kind, much better is the ones that are coming your way and all worked up. Any way the gringo ended up spraining his ankle real bad on about day 3 or 4 and could barley get around even with a walking stick, probably lucky to get back to camp, so I opted to hike out and fetch a couple of horses to pack out the gringo and his gear rather than packing him out my self. Only about three uphill miles but too tough for old bow hunters. Pretty sure the gringo is coming back out this fall and we will have storys worthy of this thread. Pat, Kathie sprained her ankle real bad a couple of monthes ago and is just now getting around pretty good on it, says she can sympothise with you. Kenneth
Pat B:
Kenneth, I remember you telling me about Kathie but I guess I never replied. I know her pain! ;D Those sprained ackles or feet take forever to hear. I hope she's doing better now.
...and the horse I rode out on!
...we were down there
