This is like one of those Bourne novels, will Formy discover his own identity by the time he leaves Montana?

Awesome story, can't wait to read more. It is truly amazing what a guy can do when he puts his mind to it.
Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

At the rate he's going, his hunting career is going to be a short, albeit exciting, one. I think he'll be all right Until he breaks a leg, twists an ankle, gets perforated by a stob on a trunk buried in the snow, steps in a varmint hole, .... Snubbie is right. It's like driving drunk.

I'm not doubting this dude's hardcorness, but exaggeration is afoot me thinks.
Going up and over two 1500 foot ridges then up another 2000 feet in an hour and a half, while eating no real food but a twix in the last 24 hours would test the absolute best athletes in the world.
Not to mention the cliff jumping scene. Good story regardless... 5000 vertical up in an hour in snow with a 60 lb pack on his back, and for a 4x4.

Yeah. I'm not saying the story is false, but I wouldn't recommend it for the associated risks.

I think I believe about five words of the whole story, but I can't wait for the rest regardless. There's always the one guy that will call BS... Hilarious. Awesome story FormD. I'd also like to hear a gear review when you get the time. Tanner I'll just stay quiet then and wait for the part where he takes out a pack of ninjas and stops to warm up a lost, shivering Kate Upton on the way to head-butting his elk to death. If he leaves poor lost Kate to go head butt a bull we'll know the story is B.S.

Here is the rest of the story:
Just as I put the cross-hairs on the elk, I wake up. Kate Upton opens the door, get on the floor, everybody do the dinosaur.

Formd's is a good story teller at minimum but if all is true, and I'll take him at his word at this point, this is best done with a buddy, and minus that, a least sat phone. You know, so they find you before spring.

While I think that there is some exaggeration in a lot of the accounts of the story, I really don't thing Formid is making up stories about his hunt. The only things I know about Formid are what I can glean from his posts here on the 'fire. Most of his input is thoughtful and accurate. I think he's a quality dude. From what I can gather, and I hope he chimes in and either confirms or denies, this hunt may be his first elk hunt or any hunt in the Western US. I think he lives in the Southern US like Georgia or Tennessee. I'm guessing he was so excited about the hunt and adventure that he just went all out to kill an elk; any elk. While the accounts he shares seem over-the-top to some and things that most of us would never put ourselves through to kill a raghorn bull, I bet Formid was so fired-up about being in Montana on an elk hunt that he thought he had to do what he had to do to get it done.

Well I will be glad when he continues with the story and it doesn't matter if its true or a lie, he keeps you setting on the edge of your chair.

Umm, maybe so. In any case, I'll hit the "quiet" button on the BS meter and patiently wait and hope, along with everyone else, for the rest of the story.
