This morning at first light I headed off with 3 close friends to chase 4 points. I personally tagged out 2 days after i got back from guiding on a 2 point but was down to help some good friends(1 being a good friend). So we get to our spot and start the hike in and i immediately see a guarantted 3x3 but it looked like it had a sticker so i sent 2 of the hunters around the mountain to cut it off. Well the newest hunter decided he was going straight up and has alot of mountain climbing experience. 15 minute later i get a text saying he fell over 70 feet straight down and my heart sinks as i think in my head i lost a very close friend.
Well about 20 more minutes of aggony go by and the message comes in that he is alive but i am still not sure of the condition but i was 2-3 kms away so i start heading in the direction and immediately get in contact with coach who offers assistance and advice on what to do. We get our friend dealt with and i hunt my way back after hearing he will be ok and see a wolf on a ridge line at 1200 yds and can not get back to him so he walks. 3 4x4's later and me not being able to shoot i settle in with the spotting scope and take pictures of some animals before heading out for the day. We are all thankful our good friend sustained minor injuries and he is happy he had a 40 pound pack on to land on instead of breaking his spine.
I will post some pics later of a nice buck i saw and possibly of the injuries, be safe out there guys!
