Parachuting in for sheep ????.

[hunter1947]

For sheep hunting I was thinking about maybe parachuting into a valley between two mountain top ,throwing out the gear with a tracking device on it ,then me jumping out just after I let my cargo go ,what do all you sheep hunters think about this.

Then I would get the float plane to pick me up in 10 days at the lake seven thousand feet below me http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/images/icons/icon6.gif http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/images/icons/icon12.gif.

[BiG Boar]

Have you ever parachuted before?

[SteadyGirl]

Not sure how you would get your rifle on the ground safely but it sounds like it could be effective. I've often wanted to kayak across/down rivers to get to some tough access sheep trails too. I think you should do it:p

[Fisher-Dude]

Any thoughts on who would pack the two 40 lb parachutes off the mountain for you? :razz:

[Will]

Just get one of those flying squirrel suits....you can buzz the cliffs on the way down:p

[BiG Boar]

This sounds like an expensive hunt. I would buy a trials bike before I would buy a parachute.

probably the same way the soldiers in the airborne do it. either packager it well and where it slung over the shoulder, or package it better and send it with the gear drop.

if you can afford 3 chutes (one for gear, one main for yourself and one reserve), and have experience parachuting, it's actually a great idea. but as the one poster mentioned, what do you do with the chutes when you land? i suppose you could bury them, soldier style and leave them, but that would mean you have money to throw away and should probably just get a guided hunt.

[hunter1947]

First of all a parachute in weight is only 20 pounds.

This is the way it would go ,there would be 3 of us going on this trip ,tow would land down at the lake with the 3 guns as for very little gear 80% of the gear would fall from the sky with the parachute.

The would meet me latter in the day where we marked in on the map our cornets.

Our main camp will be where the gear etc lands ,then hunt from there as for making a spike camp on our sheep outings.

As for the chutes the 3 of us would have one each to pack out when the trip was over.

This is one way for us old chompers to get into the hi country without killing our selfs for sheep ,LOL.

And yes I have parachuted for years in the past.

When the trip is over its down hill all the way for this old salty chomper ,http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/images/icons/icon12.gif LOL.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!! Now thats thinking outside of the box! Last year in sheep camp I was just BS'n with the wife saying how nice it would be to just para-glide off the mountain! Never even occured to me to parachute in!

Wayne i say if you have the experience and the guts to go,JUST DO IT.
Me thinks there would be some pretty envious people here :wink::rolleyes:

Thats funny.

When i started paragliding 5 years ago @ Mt Woodside,on 1 of my flights coming over an area west of the landing field,i spotted a bear grazing and i remember thinking,wonder if i can pop that from here ??:cool::mrgreen:

[Cedarstrip]

Maybe not as thrilling, but would'nt it be easier and cheaper to just charter a helicopter to drop you off?

This thread gets me thinking.... we're going to be inundated with people that have the $$ buzzing around the skies out in the back country. - Don't like that thought..

[Ruger4]

Is this the same guy that not too long ago was talking about getting to old to hunt !! Ha Wayne , giv'er , just make sure your helmet cam is on , I want to see this !! :p

Rob

[FLHTCUI]

I would suggest this be a HALO Flight and that you deploy your chute 200 feet from the ground, thus avoiding all radar and being able to really sneak up on them thar sheep.

Its illegal to use a chopper for drop off.

It is also illegal to fly around looking for game animals with a plane.

[wolverine]

You old paratrooper you! Are you going to kill it with a blow gun you whittle out of the trunk of a 1000 year old cedar tree you find when you land and have Rambo, your personal buddy and hunting partner help you pack it out? This is the best thread I have seen in weeks in here.... laughed my ass off. Thanks Wayne~!

[hunter1947]

The good thing about the coast factor is that all 3 of us would be in the plane to get to our designation.

I jump out first then they my 2 partners keep an eye on me from in the plane above ,then after I land on the ground they boot the gear out so I can see where it lands.

Then they land down at the lake. http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/images/icons/icon6.gif.

[30-378-magnum]

as the famous line goes BREAK A LEG lol

[Dirty]

It would be cheaper/easier to get some serious meds from the doctor that would patch you up for the hike in and out. They have these medications, believe me.

[hunter1947]

as the famous line goes BREAK A LEG lol

With you parachute out of a plane with no weight on except your self its very unlikely to break a leg ,never ever have I come close to this happening to me LOL.

[Skeena Hunter 1]

Where in the regs does it state it is illegal to fly around in a plane to look for game?

Wayne...for christ sake....You trying to kill yourself?? LETS have a look back on 2008 at how good your luck was??? Shall I say more? LMAO
If you thought that scope on the nose hurt....can you imagine what hitting the ground at 200 miles an hour would feel?

It is in how you land when coming to the ground ,you guide along for the last 200 feet on a 45 degree angle ,this cushions your landing ,you hit the ground a about 15 miles an hour LOL http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/images/icons/icon12.gif.

I am serious ,all will work out.

[hunter1947]

I have parachuted twice and let me tell you after I scraped 14 pounds of crap outta my shorts I swore I wouldn't do it again....and I haven't. lol

Well you have to be an old salty like me to know what your doing ,LOL :lol::lol:http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/images/icons/icon7.gif .

Actually entertained (still do) the idea of getting and utilizing one of these:

You're at the mercy of mountain weather though as you can only fly in 10 mph winds or less.

http://www.paratoys.com/images/blackhawk/quad_tandem/lowboy_tandem.jpg

[troutseeker]

Well it sounds like a great idea! Personally I'd just do without thents and use the parachute canopy for that, plus you'd have lot's of parachute cord to play with. No need for a backpack, just use the empty parachute bags, and the canopies will cut into some very fancy game bags. To save even more weight just use extra canopy material to fashion your own sleeping "sacks". They also make good pouches to collect rain water in, can be used a bandages, dressings and slings, make fancy bandana's and for the older crowd can be folded up and used as "depends"!

Quick questions, so you don't spook the sheep are you thinking of doing a HALO jump?

Let us know how it went, we may want to emulate you!

Yep! Big ones!

Only need a couple feet to get airborne. Restrict flights to calm evenings / mornings.

Learn to fly one in 5 days. Chalk up more flying on the home front and you're good to go.

The places you could go with one of these. Gravel bar / mountain top landings.

[guest]

Wow Wayne,
I know you want a Ram bad but there's better ways, or safer at least !
Before you go want to sell me that Cross-bow or might you will it to me? LOL
I hope you land on the plateau and not a drop off.
All this said I know of an individual that used a hang glider type to get off the mountain quick, oh and no he did not have a Ram to bring down. that would be for another day. Some of these guys sure have some nice equipment and good if not interesting idea's.

I am not arguing with ya Wayne. You're old enough to make your own decisions! :) I've just spent enough time on and around sheep mountains to know it's not a good idea for me.

If you were ex-special ops, or a paratrooper with a few 1000 jumps under your belt then maybe not so crazy.

As for the paraglider (go-kart) idea One quick gust o'wind and you'd be mashed potatoes on the side of a mountain.

BCR this would be a very good way of getting to an area ,but my area is to far in to use something like this.

It would be costly as well unless you have not gone through two devoices ,then a person might be able to get one of these LOL http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/images/icons/icon7.gif.

Wayne when i started paragliding 5 years back,my instructor had the oldest person whom he ever taught.

I was there for all 5 of his flights,he was @ the young age of 72.......

No matter what anyone else says,@ the end of the day you still live with yourself,so go or no go,Wayne its a cool idea.

[riflebuilder]

I have a bud who para glided of the mountains with his ram the last two years running. Another option would be a powered parasail that way you get to scout the terrain find a good place to land set up camp and go hunting. a personal bush plane with a small landing and take off, great stol capabilities.

Parachuting in for a hunt? I think delivering papers at 4am is affecting someones judgement.
Many things we did 20yrs ago, when attempted now, hurt.
I suspect you are having trouble keeping fit, so figured it'd be easier to start at the top of the hill and go down.
Wind the clock back 20yrs and I'd come with you. 2009 on a headstone is not a good look.

Unbelievable plains, almost makes a guy want to get into the flying thing !

Realistic: You 'may' do a tandem jump or two just for kicks which is quite safe and your wife may support.

Unrealistic: You sky diving out of a plane to land on a mountain top to hunt.

More realistic if you were really serious: Power Paragliding. (just get the option you would have for a 2nd passenger to pack your gear!!

Why? You want to go halfers with me on one?:p

Any reccomendations for entertainments sake on the type of ultralights you would use?

ultralight homebuilt whatever - there's a pile of aircraft that will get you in and out on the market today.

the merlin ez flyer is kinda exciting. 2 seater t/o roll 50 ft, landing 175. Does 70 mph in cruise - gets you where you want to go. I can think of a couple lakes that it would be great on or a couple of piles of dirt that would open up a lot of country that you currently can't get at unless you have horses and an extra 4-6 days to ride in and out.

Might get chilly in an ultralight. :p
It's okay the warmth from the urine in one's pants would be nice and warm...at least for abit anyways.

Well you'll probably want someone with a license to fly it.

I think the ultralight license is cheap (1-2K) but I'd be terrified to fly with somebody in the mountains with 10 hours tt or even a couple hundred for that matter.

You only need insurance if you're planning on crashing!!!!!!!!!!!! :razz::razz::razz:

Who needs a heater, just take Gatehouse:lol:

lmao. I actually know a guy, he thinks why he CANT:? find a bull moose in the early season (Aug 15, Reg 7B) , the reason being all the moose are hiding in the rivers and lakes,,,,
with just enough of their nose sticking out to breath!:shock: roflamao :lol:

I think this guy would also harbor a the idea to sky-dive for sheep ;-)

Like the saying goes:

"......There are old pilots and there are bold pilots but there are no old, bold pilots......."

There are some darned lucky guys out there who have escaped serious injury / death over the years when flying with "bold" pilots ......

Ha ... very very expensive recovery bill if you're way back in the bush on some strip.

Not a lot of air at the top of the average mountain. My old 172 take forever to climb higher than 10000 ft. Won't lift much weight that high either. Sure comes down fast, though. I suspect a parachute would come pretty quick too. I like the theory about the moose in the water. Next year's Christmas wish list will definitely include camo snorkel gear. Does anybody make a compound bow type spear gun?

[Creeker]

Gatho here I come.:D:D:D
