You did just fine as a story teller by the way sir.... wink

Chasing mulies in the high country was/is one of my favorite hunts - though I'm still trying to wrap my head around the elevations you all hunt at. It's weird for me too that there are still trees that high as our mountains turn into alpine at about 7500' or so typically.

I'll bet the trekking poles work well too - I used to cut a straight Saskatoon stick for the way down with a loaded pack - you folks might call them Serviceberry down there?

Anyway, those cut poles saved me a twisted ankle or worse on a few deer way back in the day.

Thanks again and again congratulations on a fine buck. All the best to you as you head back to school this fall and good luck on your remaining hunts too.

Thanks Dwayne! Don't think I've come across any serviceberry down here in Colorado. I was indeed very glad to have those poles on the way out, they also provide a nice additional push going uphill too laugh .

Coming from school in Nebraska out to the higher elevations of home definitely takes a little while to get used to.

Thanks for the kind words and have a good week, sir.
