Wow, sounds like a great trip. aside from the ride home. Did you leave any for the rest of us?! I'm still debating if I should make the trek to Fernie but your story is helping me make the right decision. Can't wait to see the pics. I hope you have a couple big freezers!

got home and my folks bought us a new big frezer!!! what a welcomed sight...it is a definite good year for bulls this year...got in to 40 yrds on a 4 point bull but i stopped him 1 yrd too far and didnt have the shot..but maybe it was for a reason i guess

Good for you and the family. Not so good for the truck. Buddy of mine blew the motor in his new (to him) chevy blazer and had to buy a re-and-re motor from Cdn Tire in Cranbrook. He rented a car, finished the week's hunting and picked his bazer up on the way through back home to Vanc.

All he got was 1 little whitetail buck and NO poontang when he got home. Poor bugger.....
