The Mountain Hunting Thread

[Ardent]

Next time you're in Whitehorse for a couple of hours let me know. We need to undo those knots, and splice those loops for you. That'll give you another quarter mile an hour.

Ted

Look forward to it Ted and I will take you up on that.

My son and I on his first mountain trip, headwaters of 37 Mile Creek, August, 1980.



Just a one day hike to learn a bit of scouting for sheep.

What it’s utterly all about right there Ted, look forward to when my boys are old enough.

Yup nothing better... don't miss any moments... if you blink, they are running orphanages in India or wintering in the mountains of Central America, and the house is very quiet.

If you want to find a grizzly bear, go sheep hunting.



Have only shot three in 47 years. This was the first, Sept long weekend, 1972.

Would have been a good pack down Ted.

Sometimes, you push the limit of the seasons, and you hit the cutoff.

 

[Why not?]

That's just not fun at all!

I had a similar experience many years ago, but at least the tents down below where we were stalking the rams.

[Longwalker]

did that moose hunting in Saskatchewan a couple times. It doesn't need to be the mountains!

 

[Ardent]

Except you don’t have to climb down!

 

[Why not?]

Amen Bro,

Climbing down is certainly more dangerous, especially in snow, when loaded down with a sheep or caribou!

Goats are no better sadly, as while lighter they just find steeper stuff!
