At least the pipe and smoke was good. Desert hunting is indeed tough.We have some country that looks a bit like that around Cache Creek. Long shots, usually. Tough packing, too as you noted. Hope you have another trip this year. We open on the 15th for two points in Central BC, and a 4 day trophy season for big bucks I think on Dec 1 - won't be going this year. Knees won't take the kind of walking any more. You ain't old enough yet to know lol. My next deer hunt'll be from the front porch of a farmer friend who baits them with hay stacks in his fields. THAT"S getting old! Thanks for posting these shots. I enjoyed them! - a bit of a nostalic doppelganger there, too - did some antelope hunting in Wyoming many years ago. Loved that terrain. Looks similar! Salut!Well, I was bit by not scouting pre-season and my deer hunt was over in one day. Satellite and topo maps lied about what the ground would look like.
Too harsh of terrain, overgrown by too much manzanita for my (getting) old and out of shape ass to trek through, and even if I did and got a shot chances of recovery would’ve been slim to none.
Anyway, I spent a smoke of my Dark Sails mix in a Ropp J11P with my friend’s horses.
