Thanks guys,
In my experience most hunters possess a sense of humor whether they are kidding a buddy or are the butt of a joke themselves.
Beyond poking fun at myself, I was commiserating with MTGomer. I was also hoping to illustrate that any of us can occasionally lose focus during a hunt, then get flustered when faced with unexpected circumstances. Had I been moving more slowly, planting my butt more frequently and scanning the route ahead with binoculars, I might have caught the ram unaware (as the younger one appeared to be). Without the temporal pressure imposed by my concern that the ram would imminently bolt, I likely would have become aware of the expanse of ground between us. Indeed, I could have waited for the ram to approach much closer. Additionally, my hope is that the anecdote provides a lesson about being familiar with one’s gear.
Cool shot YoungGun!
Three things I'd really like to know: 1) Did you find the top well swept by wind when got you there? 2) How long did you stay after reaching the ridge? 3) Are you wearing snowshoes in that photo?
If hunttalk supported short videos, you see us laughing at the miserably good time and fruitless effort to go anywhere while my buddy is high centered, neither foot punching far enough to catch rock or an old crust.
shines: If you pull a tag and want to have another go at it this year, you can count me in as a sherpa. I would gladly pack out a ram.
I have the Garmin inReach Explorer+ with the Freedom Expedition Plan. Unlimited texting, unlimited pulls of basic weather forecasts, etc. $24.95 per year for the ability to pay $64.95 per month for the service, and don't pay for the months that I don't use it. I've suspended my account since February (not much to hunt now.....) and my GPS still works on the unit. So maybe my $24.95 annual fee is what's keeping my GPS functionality on? I use it a few months every year, so if that is the case then I don't think the GPS will ever actually be deactivated.
Unlimited texting, unlimited pulls of basic weather forecasts, AND 911 BEACON FUNCTIONALITY are ONLY active when you are actively paying the $64.95/month. I assume the $24.95/year keeps the GPS functionality working the whole year and that's it.
