I&#39;m wondering how he&#39;s gonna read a topo map if he can&#39;t read a road map!!

Having been in the woods with that fella, there&#39;s little hope for him if his guide actually leaves him alone for a few days... he&#39;ll get it eventually, but for 2006 he&#39;s still a greenhorn. On the other hand, he can shoot straight arrows! ...better than 99% of everyone else on this board, and having missed a few nice bucks myself, I can appreciate his proficiency with a bow...

[PIGIG]

so what you are saying BC is if he steps out of the truck shoots an arrow drives down to get it and repeats this 25000 times he may find his way http://www.jesseshunting.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smiley-ugly-lol-bashing-sign.gif

What I&#39;m saying is that I&#39;m seriously concerned about his ability to navigate his way out of a paper bag. He drew units 171-173... those are in CENTRAL Nevada, only about 200 miles from the Idaho border...

I gotta give him the benefit of the doubt and call BS on you PIGIG... please, tell us he&#39;s safe and didn&#39;t misplace Nevada today and you&#39;re just having some fun (at his expense)... please?

If per chance you&#39;re just passing on the truth, we need to get a search party geared up... maybe get some t-shirts, hats, and beer coozys printed up with "SAVE BRIAN" or something like that... maybe we can get U2 to have a benefit concert or something?

Hey Guys

FIrst off I have to say this is no JOKE.

BK called me from Reno talkin mad smack about me missing this hunt with him and telling me all about the sportsmans wearhouse bla bla bla

At the time he was leaving Reno and started losing cell service and I said "Good luck and I&#39;ll talk to you later" Seemed the right thing to say.
That was right around noon.

Just about 2pm I get another call and this is the transcript.

BK"Hey Mark, how far is Fallon from Winnemucca?"

FT"What did you do"

BK"seriously I just went through Minnemucca on 80"

FT"Dude you (&^(*&#39;ed up, turn around"

BK"Are you sure?"

FT"Fallon is on 50, not 80 your heading to Idaho"

BK"Are you sure?"

FT"Yes. Didn&#39;t you hunt there before?"

BK"Yeah"

FT"Were you to busy calling everyone talking smack to check your map"

BK"I dont have a map"

FT"Are you serious, go back to Winnemucca and buy a map"

BK"OK"

then we hung up and I had a friend Mapquest it for him so he wouldn&#39;t have to go back all the way to Reno and then go the right way.

Then called him with his NEW directions.

I heard from him one more time and he was on his way.

I didn&#39;t think it was nearly as funny until I read this post, now I&#39;m both giggling and wondering if BIG FOOT got him.

I would like a Med Tshirt by the way, NICE.

Maybe next time he will listen when I tell him leaving his road map at home to make more room for his Astroglide gel isn&#39;t a good idea he will listen to me. I speak from experience...........I mean trust me...........I mean never mind.

Holy Crap!!
You boys have been busy!!
Who’s got my back? http://www.jesseshunting.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smiley-oops-yellow.gif Thanks BC for giving me a little credit. http://www.jesseshunting.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbs-up-ani.gif Too Funny..

We have the new Saturday night cast right here in JHO. This post is fricken funny. I deserve every bit of this. http://www.jesseshunting.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smiley_10sign.gif It actually cheered me up.

I just pulled back in this morning. Yes its true, when I left Reno I stayed on 80 missed the 95 turn off to Hwy 50. Totally amazing!! I was day dreaming, cruising the ridges glassing up all kinds of trophy Mulies. Regrettably there are several other "events" that took my morale lower and lower until I pulled the plug on the hunt.
This first day we saw so many bucks it’s hard to believe the number. Triple digits. There were several bachelor groups of 22-25 bucks. I am 99.9% certain of not counting the same bucks over. Just because we witnessed, bumped, and viewed, the bucks didn&#39;t mean getting an arrow in one would be easy. I stalked within 18 yards of a solid 4x4. When I came over the top and came close, all I could see was his horns as he rested safely in his bed under thick cover.
http://www.jesseshunting.com/photopost/data/500/medium/nev-064x4stalk.jpg

After waiting for a bit I tried to skirt over a few yards hoping to find a patch of fur around his vital area. I was busted my one of his buddy&#39;s and the three bucks shot out and across the bare hillside out of view.
http://www.jesseshunting.com/photopost/data/500/medium/nev-06buck3.jpg

I then walked several more yards in that direction I was side hilling and was 70 yards from another large buck bedded. I was hoping he would bed back down. After 10-12 minutes one of the smaller bucks with him sprang down the hill causing the whole hillside to evacuate after him, 18-20 bucks in the folly.
Later that afternoon I was trying to come down on a large group of bucks in the sage. I witnessed five other bucks across the adjacent ridge. I saved the sage bucks till later, felt good to have a plan “B”. Stalking 5 bucks would be easier than the 20+. After 20 minutes of backing out and running along the backside of the crescent ridge. I came over the top, checking the wind and all the details, they were long gone by the time I came over the top. Discouraged! I went back after the sage bucks to eventually being discovered prematurely.
http://www.jesseshunting.com/photopost/data/500/medium/nev-06blown.jpg


Within an hour I was trying to locate that same group and came across an average bedded 3x4 in the sage.
http://www.jesseshunting.com/photopost/data/500/medium/nev-06scout.jpg

All I could see was 3/4&#39;s of his rack. I dropped my pack and attempted to laser his antlers 3 times. The range was 52 yards ever time with the inclometer. I slipped my shoes off and disconnected my pack, loaded the bow. His horns started to bob and twitch. He stood up and nibbled at his rump for 10-12 seconds. When he finished and looked down the hill, I drew, picked a spot and shot over his back. I was completely baffled at the miss. I was pretty confident he was in the freezer. Very humbling! I checked my bow later the next day and was drilling the spot at 50 yards within a 2" targ-dot. The only thing I can think of is the laser passed through his antlers giving me a false reading on something else. Was a very exhausting and trying day but felt like I really pushed my self and stood up to the challenge.
Day two I hunted solo another location and was just hammered by the terrain. I saw 4 nice bucks that day and stalked two of them.
http://www.jesseshunting.com/photopost/data/500/medium/nev-06buck.jpg

Both times I think I came over the hillside in the wrong location just off a hair like my drive to Nevada. Frustration was really getting the best of me and my mental war was definitely starting.

http://www.jesseshunting.com/photopost/data/500/medium/nev-06solo1.JPG

After gimping back to camp wincing from knee pain I cleaned up in a small stream and popped 5 Advil. For about an hour I evaluated my progress and honestly felt at the time I wasn&#39;t sure the buck was worth the effort. Hate to admit it but my body and mind were now mush. As the mental war was concluding I decided to pull the plug early evaluating my condition. I hiked out 11 miles, the last three at a snails pace due to knee complications.
I have mixed feelings about shortening my trip. I am stoked about the challenge and trying to step up to the level of the hunt and bummed about the short duration. Work in progress. Some of the most beautiful but rugged country I have ever seen. Definately a hard hunt. I am certain many of the zones in NV hold good numbers of bucks. Don&#39;t forget to check with NV&#39;s NDOW resources before you plan a hunt like this whatever unit you aim for. If your able to get far enough back you&#39;ll increase your buck sightings. The trick not only getting back there but to be able to manage the terrain.

Nope. It was pretty danged funny!

Bummer that you had to bail early, Brian. Looks like you were definitely in the deer! Great pix, anyway!

[Backcountry]

You did the right thing listening to your body and taking care of it first! Imagine how hard that hike would have been if you had 100 lbs of meat & head to contend with. You would have been exhilarated, but at the same time you would have been more prone to injury... live to hunt again another day!

All I&#39;ve got to say now is DAAAAAAAyyyyyyum, you saw some kickass bucks! From your pics it&#39;s obvious that they saw you too... I guess hunting a shangri-la like NV cuts both ways... you&#39;ll see lots of bucks, but you also have to deal with a ton of eyes watching you! makes our A-20 trip seem like childs play and I sure know where I want top hunt in a couple years (maybe not that zone, but the Ruby&#39;s sure do sound nice).

I think you did the right thing shortening up the trip a tad... you&#39;ve got to build up to the mental and physical endurance required to stick it out for a week by yourself... next time you&#39;ll be out there a couple extra days, and the time after that a couple more...

Glad you made it out without blowing the knee. Like BC said, good choice on coming out early. Back there alone is not the best place for a physical challenge to add to the hunt. Some damn nice deer up there, WOW !!!! Are you going to get a chance to go back before the season closes?

[Little Woman]

WOW Brian
What a story, and dang Big Deer. (Love the pix&#39;s)
No worries mon, they will be there next time you go back.
And BC is correct about taking care of your self first,
We don’t need to lose a great friend like you.

I so want a shirt by the famous man-designer BDB.
Dude- That was genius, just wish it was some other poor bloke we were making of fun of. Too funny!

Maybe we can incorporate Steve&#39;s new Brian-wear onto EPIRB&#39;s and Personal Locating Beacons.

On the Ruby note:
My buddy 2 buddies just got back from the Ruby&#39;s and they didn&#39;t see the numbers I did. I don&#39;t think they covered as much terrain as I did either. One thing they did see was huge racks when they did get into deer. They commented on really wide bucks. I saw a few that were pretty big but not the categories they were mentioning.

I think you guys have done enough.. http://www.jesseshunting.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/afraid_face.gif http://www.jesseshunting.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smiley-cool-shades-down.gif

[THE ROMAN ARCHER]

http://www.jesseshunting.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbs-up-ani.gif IN2, thanks so very much for sharing your great hunting adventure, and those are some sharp photos of mulies you took, hope you get better.............................tra

[BuckFinder]

Brian, Thanks for taking time to post your adventures. Nice photos! How wide do you think that forky in the lower right, third picture down, was? Give him a few years and he&#39;s going to be a monster!

[Family Tradition]

I go work for a few hours and all of a sudden I&#39;m the milk carton creator.

BK knows I am not that imaginative.

My brotha I totaly respect the bite you took out of the Nevada high country, BIG BRASS ones for sure hunting back there alone.

Maybe we can do that hunt together if we ever get lucky enough to draw that together.

That would be GOOD.

FT

[Zbearclaw]

Dude, you can take a punch, these guys laid it on you, you definately know how to turn the other cheek.

I would have posted their huntng spot on every forum on the web while at the same time sent an email to every address I could come up with at their work with nudie pics, of course from an address created with their last name and first initial. But that is just me, just kidding.

Sounds like you had a successful hunt, those pics alone are worth the price of admission, get healed up and bust a bomber on your next trip.

Oh yeah, get a map.

[jerkee]

BK- Dude, you did well! Those pics look great...can&#39;t wait to get in there myself. Shoot me an email or call me, I&#39;ve got some ideas for you.

[SierraFool]

Brian, dont feel bad we have all been wooped by injuries, weather and rugged country. I have pulled the plug several times on backpack hunt due to one reason or another.

Was this your first year in that zone? I am considering that area http://www.jesseshunting.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smiley-cool-shades-down.gif or Rubies next year. Actually your zone was my second choice last year. http://www.jesseshunting.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smiley-faces-toast-beers.gif

[blazintowers]

thanks for sharing the story and pics...looks like a successful hunt to me, memories that will last forever! http://www.jesseshunting.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smiley-faces-toast-beers.gif

[snoopdogg]

Great read; great pics. Too bad you couldn&#39;t seal the deal, but at least you did it solo and were in them.

The knee thing, yeah, that&#39;ll bite you in the a** everytime when doing that type of terrain. Kudos, bro.

BDB: I&#39;ll take a large T-shirt please.

[wmidbrook]

http://www.jesseshunting.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smiley_rotflmao.gif Oh man...what a post!

Glad you made it back okay and great pics! If for some reason you forget to hang a left or right and end up in the great Salt Flats, give me a call...

[Franklin3]

Brian that&#39;s some rugged country for sure. I drove through their once and strined my neck just looking up.
Glad your back and those are some awesome pics.

Now can I still order the shirt?
XL please.
You take Pay Pal?
