Anyone Else Get "That" Feeling??

[Stone Sheep Steve]

Is it only "freaky" me but does anyone else get a weird feeling from looking at "some" high country pictures?? It's hard to explain but I'd describe it as something similar to "butterflies" or an "ache" . I don't get it from every high country picture but looking at that one of BHB packing out his caribou sure set this feeling off. I had an immediate urge to head back there and feel the cool air in my lungs and fresh air in my nostrils 8). I also get it from looking at other people's pictures but not all high country pics.

So am I "freak" :-?or are there others out there that get the same rush??:confused:

[BCrams]

You're not the only 'freak'. You can include me!!

The only problem is, I have those pangs year around. I just want to be up there on a high ridge laying down and glassing.

[Ride]

I hear you both. Even just driving and seeing it off in the distance makes me wanna head up.

[Gateholio]

You arent' a freak...perfectly normal.:wink:

Yep...Yep...and Yep

[boxhitch]

So are you a Big Mountain freak, a Mountain Hunting freak, a Hunting freak (or do you just like BHB ?)

I think I am a Big Mountain freak. Summer time laying around glassing sheep, goats, marmots, eagles (cool when you are above them!), lots of vertical.........
Winter sledding up to a peak, wondering where the edge is under the snow, seeing the smoke from a stack 30 miles away, brilliant blue that will burn your eyeballs with out shades, distant peaks always look more defined with snow on them (and infinite)

Best of all is realizing it is all downhill from here....

[Spuddge]

You're not alone, I call it a longing! I am itching to get out of this city and breath the fresh air of nature. There's no place like the wild, whether it's the high country or the low, it's better than where I am now!

Hey is was special trip for us. Remember that old saying "what happens in mountains, stays in the mountains":shock:

BHB

[Kody94]

Thank God no-one has used the term Brokeback Mt yet. ;)

SSS, BCRams, et al.... I get the same feelings. Kinda like a mini anxiety attack but in a good way. Its adrenalin. Some pictures just take me back to those moments I loved so much, and gives me the itch to get out there again. You guys captured a bunch of it...the clean moist air in your lungs, the feeling of your legs pumped up from a long climb, the smell of the red mountain heather and lichen on that ridge where you are laying glassing, the sound of the Whisperlite stove as it boils water for your freeze dried meal that only tastes good in that situation, the feeling of your boots crunching the gravel under the weight of you and that sheep on your back..... Heck, I even miss the mornings where you wake up and your tent is pressing on your face because it snowed a foot overnight. :shock: :D

If I get a chance, I'll share some of my pics too. Just gotta get a new scanner....

Naw, yer just a freak:wink:. I think that u and bighornbob better stay away from one another this weekend:smile:.RAMSHOT.

One of the best feelings ever.....

[Wild one]

I know the feeling but I get it from any were that looks like a good place to hunt.My old lady says that if I am not hunting or fishing I am looking for some were I can hunt or fish.

[bckev]

I live in the mountains and my idea of agreat holiday is to never come down the hill. Kids and wife like to get out though and I have to pay the bills but at least I start and end my days there.

[Shed Hunter]

I live it every day

[bckev]

Shedhunter is that why you hike through thigh high snow to get your sheds?

[Deaddog]

Those high wind swept mountain ridges, with or without game are a spiritual place for me. Not sure what it is but when I am there I am at "peace" All the explanations on this thread are what hunting is truly about.DD

[Fisher-Dude]

It's hard to explain but I'd describe it as something similar to "butterflies" or an "ache" .

Well, to be perfectly honest, you are all freaks to us big fat guys..... or we are very jealous.... not sure which....:shock::tongue::wink:

[tomahawk]

Glad to hear I'm not off floating on my own, this has been my computor desktop for the last year. It takes me to a good place when ever I need a boost. It is a camp that we had for 7 days at 5300 ft while bow hunting stones.

I think you've got the right idea tomahawk, lets see those pictures guys. Not like I don't have enough trouble sleeping in the off season!

SSS, or maybe BCRams.... I recall a pic of a view from under a Sil-Tarp over looking a panorama of sheep peaks, and someones boot. That's the kinda picture that puts me right there...

No ,your not the only one out there. I get that feeling every year when I am on top of a mountain looking down . One year there was a fog blanket below me ,I was sitting down having lunch . I said to myself I wonder if I could walk out onto the fog blanket ,it looked to me like I could . It was a weird feeling to me ,mind played games sometimes when your hi up into GODS country. Maybe it was the lack of oxygen that triggered that feeling.

[TIKA 300]

Never hunted the alpine (yet),but have hiked Cathedral Park near Carryamoose (Keremeos)That area left me beyond words,the views of Mt Baker and Raineer are just the start,than you have the goats in which you can get to within 100 ft of,and deer that a friend of mine was 10 ft from.Been there twice on Aug long weekends,the first time it snowed that sunday morning,the second time we had clear sky @ night with a full moon,THATS LIFE BEYOND WORDS !!!!!!!!!

[porcupine]

Here's a picture of a nice bull moose above timberline - We passed on him - about 8 points a side and 48" wide- two cows just out of sight as well as a mountain goat just up the slope.

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u260/tvaida/TimberlineBull.jpg

Now we're looking over 5 Stone rams about 200 yards out. the biggest was about 39", only 7 years old, and the horns just about reached the top of the nose, but did not go over. Damn he was a fine looking ram and bigger than the one I got later.

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u260/tvaida/Glassing5Rams.jpg

After we spooked the 5 rams I took this picture as they were going up and over the ridge to the right. They can climb a heck of a lot faster than a 50 year old!.
http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u260/tvaida/Overthemountain.jpg

this one was taken as we glassed the moose, the goat and a caribou. I finally got my sheep on that backside of that mountain in the distance. Of course it was just below the summit mid way along the mountain.

Porcupine- I believe it was another one of your photos that elicited "those" feelings in me(or maybe it wasn't yours?). It was a pic of a sheep loaded up on a horse looking up another valley. I can't explain why some pics do this too me and other one don't. Some pictures just make you feel like your standing there on the mtn while others are "just" pictures of beautiful country. Not 100% sure though??

Keep them coming!

[porcupine]

I think this is the picture that you're referring too. I'll have to scan some more pictures from that hunt to post. I forgot to mention that just to the let of the guide's black hat is a small bump on the edge, before it drops off. That's a spike elk watching us approach.

You'd think so. :D

One night...actually the first of a two week solo trip, just me and the dog...I was camped in a high pass and a thunder/lightning storm rolled in at about midnight. The winds were strong enough that it wanted to blow my little 2-man tent over, so I had to hold on to the poles with my hands and feet. Meanwhile, lightning was going off all around me and I was getting just a little nervous holding on to those aluminum poles! The storm last 4 full hours, and the whole time my dog (who is bombproof) just snored away....

He didn't seem to get too wound up about bears either, so I was pretty much on my own with them too. :)

Great dog otherwise. LOL

I enjoy that feeling every day of the year. archery allows me to bowhunt all during the "open" season (including GOS) and target/3D archery allows me to enjoy that feeling all during the "off" season.

There ain't nothin' quite like it...

Classic photo!!! Hope you could sling that rifle off in a hurry.

[SHACK]

Quick enough for what I was about to cross. what you dont see is the huge crag/shoot infront of me, and there was no way I was gonna try crossing with my hands loaded!
Besides, I never feel so pressured that I have to harvest game, take I it for the enjoyment as much as the harvest. Had I not been able to shoot a legal ram that popped up on me I would not have been disapointed, more in awe of how quick things happen. I always find it just as exciting to be "busted" as it is to do the "busting" ;)

Great photo SHACK!

Shack -that looks like Fernie. There is alot of mineral in that rock, awsome photo!! I usually just take one hiking pole myself.

Those high wind swept mountain ridges, with or without game are a spiritual place for me. Not sure what it is but when I am there I am at "peace" All the explanations on this thread are what hunting is truly about.DD

X2, There is a certin peace about looking out over the mountains! Pics of the high country and a feeling of THAT IS WHERE I AM SURPOSE TO BE!!!!

Not sure what you mean by that, but after looking at the other pics its pretty easy to tell :smile:. Nice country up there eh? Have you gone right up the Hess to Misty yet? If you head to the far end of the lake and follow the main creek that flows into the lake you should find a pretty wicked moose shed right on the trail. I wanted to pack it out with me but my fingers were frozen and there was a foot of snow on the ground....And i just wanted to get to camp and warm up!

[Kody94]

Not sure what you mean by that,

Pleading, or taking, the 5th is from the US and means that you refuse to testify on the grounds that you may incriminate yourself. Refers to 5th amendment of their constitution. Clearly you don't watch enough Law and Order. http://www.glocktalk.com/forums/images/smilies/shame.gif

I tell you what, there is no other feeling like being up in the alpine with no one else around, just mountains and animals. You feel really insignificant up there and realize how little room for injury/error you have up there if things go sideways but the vast open area and fresh are are overwhelming.

[sheep.elk.moose fanatic]

35 days and counting...:neutral: i cant stop thinking about being in the alpine i think i have watched every sheep DVD i have a hundred times over again, i am driving my girlfriend up the wall cause everything i do in between work is about hunting sheep..i am the bubba gump of sheep; THERE IS ALL KINDS OF SHEEP, STONE SHEEP,DALL SHEEP,ROCKY MOUNTAIN SHEEP,DESERT SHEEP...YOU CAN GRILL IT,BBQ IT SAUTEA IT, BAKE IT...YOU CAN EVEN HAVE SHEEP KABOB'S....JUST WISH I KNEW EVERY THING ABOUT THE SHEEP BUISNESS , BUT THAT'S THE THRILL OF HUNTING THEM....... :mrgreen:

This has got to be one of the coolest hunting pics I've ever seen! The light contrast from the shade of the clouds really sets this shot off and makes you feel like you're there. Very cool!!!

Thanks. It just needs a little more contrast to sharpen it up a little bit.

[Weatherby Fan]

You're not the only 'freak'. You can include me!!

The only problem is, I have those pangs year around. I just want to be up there on a high ridge laying down and glassing.

Yes me to,everytime I see high mountain pictures or beautiful alpine basin pictures I just start dreaming about sitting having a coffee glassing Mule Deer as the sun comes up.........something about the peacefulness of it ! Whenever my older brother and I get together thats all we talk about this basin or that one hunting in the alpine !

I am literally buzzing, my legs want to be gaining altitude. Sitting in this office looking at pictures like these feels like being stuck in a coffin!

I can't decide if I want to cry or laugh or what...guess I'll have to start planning a trip!

awesome pics peter!!

Wow, some awesome pics there Paw! That ram on her back looks like a smoker! You definitely have a photographic eye

[bosca]

When your up there your mind and body are almost absorbed by the landscape...and the more often you experience it the greater the pangs when you are back dealing with the 'day to day' career...finances...responsibilities. Things are simple up there....Simple in that your purpose and your choices....and the consequences....are always crystal clear. Its a high that can not be beat!

Sorry if I'm over the top here...just sayin...I definitely know how you feel.

Thanks to all that posted up pictures. This brings back fond memories

Some awesome pix.. Im a virgin to the high country but i think im getting "that feeling".. Does thinking about it slow down at all once you have harvested a sheep??


Heres what you dont wanna see when your in the high country=fog...

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r141/ianwuzherephotos/045.jpg

Love the pix of a full pack with full curl on top!
If i ever get one of them pix itll be in a frame!!!
Maybe this year.. :)

[fozzy]

Well, not as breathtaking as the pictures posted in this thread, here are a few from a goat hunt my wife and I went on. She wants to tag a goat and although we didn't tag one on this trip we sure had a blast and did see a few goats. Our pup was just 4 months old at the time and has since accompanied us on many great hikes and now carries his own pack :-)

Two capitol photos, they make me pine for my younger days. This thread is top drawer thanks to all who have posted photos.

[Downunder hunter]

Some spectacular photos in this thread, you guys are lucky to have such beautiful hunting grounds at your door step. I'm in the process of organising a goat hunt in BC this year & I must say, the size of the mountains sure dwarf our highest peaks here in Australia. I'm looking forward to seeing this spectacular place in person, it looks like I'll have to step it up a notch with my training :-)

[Downunder hunter]

Not quite the calibre of mountain I'd expect to encounter in BC though some nice country our deer inhabit here in Australia & as close as it gets for us here when it comes to getting 'that feeling'. This is a late Summer shot though these mountains are covered in snow come winter. Altitude is around 6500 -7300ft.

[Rackem]

Is it only "freaky" me but does anyone else get a weird feeling from looking at "some" high country pictures?? It's hard to explain but I'd describe it as something similar to "butterflies" or an "ache" . I don't get it from every high country picture but looking at that one of BHB packing out his caribou sure set this feeling off. I had an immediate urge to head back there and feel the cool air in my lungs and fresh air in my nostrils 8). I also get it from looking at other people's pictures but not all high country pics.

So am I "freak" :-?or are there others out there that get the same rush??:confused:

SSS

I get these pangs whenever I see something beautiful, whether it's the sunrise, an animal, pictures of the alpine, art or a person...Beauty pains...so beautiful it "hurts"...

When me and my buddy were out goat hunting he asked me

"do you know why I love coming up into the mountains?"

I answered "why"

he said "imagine all the people that will never get to see country like this in real life"

[just hunt]

Less than a month away. " anybody got that feeling"
