Late Season Archery - The Ups & Downs

Two Stubborn Old Men. Could be a good movie!
Congratulations on the deer! I’m still being patient in the last few days.

I bought a set of tire chains at an auction sale. They sat in my garage for years. Never used them. I wound up giving them away. I reached the conclusion that if I actually needed tire chains, I and my truck would simply stay at home.

If I recall your account correctly, you had a three tire chain deer hunt, having to replace three chains.

Man, Norm is a SISSY!! (This Norm, not the other one!)

The pass leading to/from Prince Rupert BC had a big sign over the road prohibiting travel without chains. That was 50 yrs or so.

I think a few have mentioned it before or many times before about writing a book. I'd take 3 signed copies.

The photo of the Rams had me returning to these photos 3 times....very cool.

Cheers and Happy New Year, glad your home safe.

Congratulations on your determination to overcome so many obstacles. I'm glad your hard work paid off in a successful hunt. It was also fascinating to learn that a guy from BC filled his freezer with whitetails, just like we do in far away Missouri. Good story and nice going!

I'm with Norman!!

Matt, you have to write a book!! Put me down for a couple of copies too!!

Those Bighorns got my blood pumping, and all I saw were the pictures!! Great adventure, great story and all with a happy ending!!

Glad you made it safely.

"Two Stubborn Old Men"... what a great title!!

Many Thanks for the kind words folks! Appreciated!!

Was indeed a grind, but we managed to stick & stay and make it pay!!

I agree - Two Stubborn Old Men rings true in this case!

While you are sending books to Texas…. Send a third! Great story, Nog.

The deer around these parts are all most 100 % nocturnal this time of year... I had a 115" 8 point on camera coming in almost every day, two hours after dark...

[IronNoggin]

Interesting point I forgot...

That final day in Rock Creek we saw a healthy Cougar.
Season was open.
Had a tag.
But don't usually carry a rifle when bowhunting (obvious reasons).
It was out just over 100 yards.

May have to revisit the rifle packing consideration down the road...

Cheers,
Nog

Awesome story. Almost can see it all in my mind... Thank you for sharing this. I always read every one of your adventures!! So sorry to see that your freezer died... They never do that until you have it full of the good stuff...

Congrats and thanks for taking us along on another outstanding adventure Matt!!
