Absolutely gorgeous country side Jack and by the look of the distant trees etc down below you in one photo, one has to be one hell of a lot fitter than I am to climb that high. The amazing thing is if you had had the good fortune to shoot a dear, then one would of needed to carry the blighter out to the truck. Now that would of been the hard but enjoyable part of the hunt knowing there is going to be fresh venison to eat.

Hi Mark, yes, packing out is difficult but where practical I built a two wheeled game cart to ease the load. On this hunt though because of the steep grade the cart wouldn't have worked. In this case we would have used the pack boards.

BTW, the vignetted pic of the 4 deer was a doe with triplets, a rare sight I'm sure. If they all survive till next year that would be amazing. The pic was taken by my partner with his spotting scope and an adapter for his cell phone. The pic of the scorpion was taken after i nearly sat on it to take a rest.



Jack.
