No, I don't think they ever will be. Unless maybe someone rats someone out.
He is really good all things considering I thought he was going to be brain dead for life.

But when it happened (dark/snowing) I couldn't find him and thought he was dead for sure

Was just asking how the area is for leaving my vehicle on the side of an FSR for three days straight
Not trying to make a snarky reply, just where i'm coming from if I came off like a pos, thanks for the heads up! Won't be hunting Bear but have been thinking about picking up a tag

We went to a place my Dads buddy had seen a monster whitetail in region 8 weeks before, we were supposed to go with him and his son but he backed out last min, also a buddy of mine couldnt go. So we went in blind, didn't like what we found so we headed south to a spot I got my first buck a whitetail when I was 11, we know the area very well.
We were staying in the wall tent with the wood stove, but instead of cutting wood I wanted to hunt. Told him I will cut the wood up at night and he dropped me off to hunt until dark. On the way down the mountain back to camp we found nice widow maker close to the road.
I cut it up and was putting the wood in the back of the truck and he was up by the front of the truck doing something.
We were about 150 yards away from the bend, and our lights were on truck was running. Seen the lights didn't think anything of it. Next thing I look up and they are right there speeding and slightly fishtailing, he didn't have a chance even if i'd of yelled he couldn't get out of the way I had to jump out of the way they missed me by seconds
Re: Ticks and scumbags, Princeton/surrounding area
We happened to pass a camp on a spur 2 minute run away from where it happened and they had a phone with service and a side by side. When we found my Dad about 300 meters up the mountain they hadn't even slowed down, he came loose by a miracle they didn't stop or slow to get him off. Couldn't drive his truck either so family picked me up they hit the truck and him.
These people are out there man they don't care as long as they get away
Re: Ticks and scumbags, Princeton/surrounding area
WOW ! that would be Very Hard to deal with ! I'm Really Glad your Dad mostly recovered ! :wink: Take CARE out there and watch out for Scumbags ! RJ

That's brutal, I've heard some bad stories but nothing like that.
Do you have a hunch who they were?
Was there a thorough investigation?

Up there bow hunting in September we met some locals, that would be the closest thing to knowing anyone/thing. My Dad thinks they didn't really try
