Quitters

[Hem]

How far would river current push a Swaro spotting scope and where was the rollover location? -Asking for a friend.

Seriously though glad you are okay. I had a scared moment myself a couple nights ago when I met an 18 wheeler taking up his side of the road and part of mine on the turn at the Lava Lake parking area. I was expecting the guardrail to hit the bed of my truck and and push me back into traffic.

Same thing happened to me at Greek creek. All I remember was the trucks outside wheels squished down to nothing going around the bend.

Yeah, I wasn't trying to derail and start anything. My comment certainly had nothing to do with Kurt's mishap.
Maybe I should have restrained.
I'm really glad " the Man" is OK.

No worries here. It's a point worth making. The only ones unhappy about Kurt not being hurt are likely the various big game animals of Montana!

About this far. The tool box is roughly where the truck landed. This took place less than 1/4 mile south of where they have the gallatin check station. Instead of a white cross - there’s bark smashed off the bigger pines over 10 feet up as a reminder to drive slower and more carefully this time of the year.

Glad you’re ok that looks like one of those crashes you see and assume someone didn’t make it. A little worse than a shanked tent.

 

[Brad]

Damn Kurt - glad you found the spotter. The truck is insured, the spotter probably isn't. Regardless, a spotter is a lot more valuable.

Kurt glad you are ok, how did the Swaro handle the tumble and swim?

 

[antlerradar]

Glad you're OK and at least you weren't driving Esther.

Esther would went through those trees like Paul Bunyan's ax and Kurt would have drove her home after the tow truck pulled her out of the river.

 

[Flatbrimmer]

Agreed. Even for the well heeled throwing a few hundred or a grand would weed some of that out.

$1000 a year to apply??? Jesus dude I’d never get to hunt again… some folks got more Dollars than Sense

If I had to front 1K for a shot at the Montana Big 3, I'd whip out my CC in a heartbeat. mtmuley

Worst spot in that whole canyon IMO.

 

[Flatbrimmer]

Like I said, more dollars than sense

 

[Flatbrimmer]

Glad you’re okay, Kurt. Seriously. Live to hunt another day! God Bless

I got near 50 years waiting on a sheep. I would have fronted the $1000 starting 40 years ago.

 

[Carl 9.3x62]

Thanks - truck is absolutely done and I’m sure still in the river.

Sheesh....giving up on your truck? Quitter.

Glad you made it out ok!

I know a guy that has to be near 60 years applying for sheep. I wish there was a way to get you guys tags. Meanwhile bunch of dbags working on their second and third tags. LE sheep should be oil. Than you can go hunt for kittens if your so inclined.

 

[tjones]

Sheesh Kurt, looking at the truck it’s a wonder you made it out. Good thing too, had you not there would have been a family fight over who gets the pink elk call.

 

[406dn]

A long time ago now my brother nearly slid a car into the Gallatin. I'm glad you came out of it so well.

 

[passinthru]

That looked not good.

Glad you're alright.

 

[Khunter]

Damn Kurt, glad you made it through that.

I quit bull riding in college because it was interfering with bow hunting.

I quit going to class in college because it was interfering with bow hunting, drinking, and chasing brunette buckle bunnies.

I quit chasing buckle bunnies because my son came along due directly to chasing buckle bunnies.

Never was the sharpest tool in the shed…

Yeah but buckle bunnies.
