True but also why even shoot it when its not even close to being legal.
Re: Whats the strangest thing youve found or seen in the back country?
Went goat hunting with some friends took them to a spot i like looked like some one had driving up the road the day before. We got to where we start hiking and made our
way to first basin but no goats crossed into second basin still no goats I thought weird maybe others had been in the day before. I said we can check out the next ridge and
see, its a wide open shale spot that drops to some trees along the bluffs, as we get to it can see a goat through the trees at top of bluffs I say we will drop down and around
to get a look, as we can see more I say we can quit sneaking around the goat is all ready dead. We walk up to the dead goat a nice nanny, can see it had been shot the day before.
We look around and find boot tracks and follow them up the hill can see where they had sat and shot from. Strange thing 2 different caliber shell casings laying there.

Guessing you were flying just east of Hixon, BC ?

The Booby thing reminded me of this fun time...
A Buddy & I were canoe adventure guides on the Churchill River in Northern Saskatchewan when we were young. The task we were are at was to explore and develop a new route, investigate the required portages, and rate the loop as for required experience to handle it.
We were a couple days in when we heard some merry singing, and watched as three canoes slid around the corner in the lake we were on. Turned out those three canoes were "manned" by two gals in each, wearing nothing but sandals and bikini bottoms. They were entirely unabashed and did not cover anything when we approached.
It turned out they were all some kind of girl guide adventure leaders, doing pretty much what we were, We suggested we might all benefit from sharing our knowledge and resources together, to which they smilingly agreed.
The next five days were really Interesting...
Oh to be that damn young & fit again... :wink:

I was happily attached at the time, but perhaps when I'm old and telling stories in the retirement home I'll juice up the details a bit lol
and I mean, not everybody needed a closer look....I was a young man back then, was not used to seeing em with that mileage....
it was a very interesting mix of ladies, birthday party, bachelorette party maybe, no clue how that comes together

While set up in my blind a few years back, i had an outdoor enthusiast (not a hunter) strip naked in front of me (~50 m). Older fat *******, good for him enjoying the sun, but why couldn't it be a hot, young gal. An awkward session for me, but he didn't linger for long.
