TJAY Campfire Regular T Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 1,402 Minnesota	We were at the Shepp Ranch on the Salmon River. 26 miles by road east of Riggins and the 18 miles by jet boat. Tough country would be an understatement in my opinion but I'am an old guy. Brutal was my thought and I still hurt to go along with that thought.

Dang thing blended in with the grass and the cut cornfield it was running out of so well, I didn't even see it until a split second before impact. Pretty bad damage to the front fender and drivers door resulted in a dead deer and police report and soon to be insurance claim . Just what I needed...

I think Idaho has some of the steepest terrain in the country. What were you doing back in there? I've been in Hells Canyon (Aptly named) and in the mountains North of McCall. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Except for bears. Bears kill you.

I missed a real nice one and ended up with a small one. One of the guys shot a wolf but I got the only bear. The starting point.

Time to dump that chebby and come over to the right side Big Jelly! Sorry to hear it though. A PITA to deal with any damn way. Camp is where you make it.

Been there, done that - does keep the freezers topped off at least. Save an elk, shoot a cow.

I was in the Frank Church River Of No Return and Gospel Hump Wilderness areas. The country is just beautiful and the folks at the Shepp Ranch were great.
