What would you do?

[Straight Arrow]

Driving up to my hunting spot in the dark on a rough dirt road, around the corner through the broken fence in the weeds was a pickup with topper lying on its top, lights still on, door open, but engine not running. Expecting to find a seriously injured or dead person, all I found was a cab-load of beer cans and an empty whiskey bottle. My call from the convenient mart in the small town nearby brought a game warden on site, with a sheriff deputy on his way. The warden looked at the registration and identified the owner as someone known to violate hunting regs, so he was intent on talking with the driver, wherever he might have wandered off to. Satisfied I had done the right thing, nonetheless my morning hunt was over before it started. "No good deed goes unpunished."

Ok I've blocked the road more than once, the last time it was my daughter.
We,l my son and I, hunted up and over a ridge and asked my daughter to drive around and find us at dark.
We popped out of the woods onto the road before dark so started hiking the road back, then climbed the hill and side hilled the two miles back to the cabin without ever hearing the truck.

Upon arrival no truck at the cabin, and my daughter was in the chair reading. ???? She said "I got the truck stuck and had to hike back" so we (son and I, she stayed to read) hiked a mile back to the truck. It was not stuck, she had slid off the road on a 8 ft cliff, the passenger front tire was in space, and the drivers rear tire was 3 ft off the ground. I climbed up on the back bumper and the truck tipped back onto the road. I jumped off the bumper and the truck dang near tipped off the cliff.

She got lots of reading, we couldn't get traction on the road, it was a truck a tractor a chainsaw, two chains, a winch, a pick ax and and 3 men several hours to get all going again. Mom sent the cavalry from town a couple of hours after dark, when there was no contact from us.

Anyways daughter finished her book in the recliner in front of the fireplace while we froze our #@%$#'s off so we could go home.

Been there, done that.....



Depending on the situation, I will either fell trees across a road, or park and disable my truck so that I can block access to a good deer hunting spot I have.

It is not a big deal. Works well.

WTF?!? Wow.

 

[Southern Elk]

Funny all the comments about Dodges. I forgot to mention in my comment earlier that the guy I found broke down was in a Dodge as well. Coincidence all these stories seem to be about Dodges?

 

[Elkmagnet]

Did any of these Dodges happen to have a straight pipe exhaust?

I can't find the article that had the lady walking back from the site saying "Just guess where they are from!" But here you go.

We have done that Cinnamon/Engineer Pass loop dozens of times....treacherous enough staying on the 'road' in 4WD low.

Since this is the deer forum, here is a buck video Dink took the day before the truck debacle.

Has no one noticed the smackdown Oak layed out?

I'm changing my answer to sob uncontrollably.

Don't worry Dink, he will be bigger next year.

The guy knows his limitations....

The sheriff's department said they had no jurisdiction to have a vehicle towed on USFS land. We did not know where the owner was.

They sure had the jurisdiction to give/try to give me and my friends MIPS at our keggers on FS land back few years.

I agree,
I remember the U.S.F.S. L.E.O. calling the sheriff to write tickets also.
