I chickened out....

What's Plan B, and does it involve whisky, or beer?

Don't blame you Sam. It ain't like there's a dead elk down there.

And if there were, I would still say fuggit, then come back with the ponies.

How in the world can you post this live?

Don’t you have to be sitting in front of your commodore 64 running on linux, with a hummingbird feeder and golf channel on mute in the kitchen? Perusing the latest satellite launch schedules?

I call BS

Looks good!!

On the Alaska hunt report form there is a line that asks "How did you get to where you started walking".

That of course assumes you aren't shooting from/off a vehicle.

"Rolled my ATV over and over downhill" would cause a smile.

No guts, no glory!!!

those things can be 'tippy'

Sam,

I find it difficult to take in the full glory while you’re wearing pants.

Adjust accordingly.

Thanks.

I've also noticed that as you age, you begin to realize that you really are getting "too old for that daredevil chit". Must be that wisdom of old age stuff you hear about.

I like to tell people that I'm writing checks that my body can't cash no more.

Earned with concussions, bruises, stitches, and the like. You know - positive reinforcement.

Sam, if you take your trail running shoes w/ you it will let you work on your cardio

The town of Andover, MN supposedly got its name from a train that derailed and rolled over...and over.

The ranch I hunt in SE Montana does not allow us any 4 wheelers. Slow side by sides are O.K. No Quads.
They have seen far too many broken arms on 4 wheelers.
Their ranch, their rules.

That kind of looks like diminishing returns, honestly.

Smart Sam.

Go for it, Sam!

I got money on ya!

Yep. 🤠

H&S, plan B involved backtracking and going down the hill in another area. It was safer and I'm all about safety.


Idaho, no elk spotted today.



Slum, truth be known I was in the house watching reruns of Gunsmoke wearing my cowboy clothes....



Hanco, it looked much scarier in real life!



Las, rolling my ATV down the hill would not cause me to smile.



Griz, what can I say, straight up puzzed out...



SSE, tippy indeed, I hate sidehilling, generally a bad place to be.



Flave, I was wearing chaps. That was it.



22250, wasn't in that big of a rush to get to the bottom!



Prwlr, credit only.



Mike, I actually did bail off once this morning and ran a little. Another steep spot. Exhausting...



Jog, it was not a Samover.



'06, they will hurt you. Luckily I don't enjoy pain.



Dave, older and wiser?



Bender, lead the way!



C, afraid to scratch up my pretty face!

Festus, practicing his draw in the bathroom mirror

With age comes wisdom, Sam!

But if you were younger, I woulda said "You ain't got a hair on your ass!"

I have 3 4-wheelers. I wrecked Sweetness (yes I name them) drinking too much gin and tonic. My fault.
Big Red tried to kill me in Colorado, sold that
Bitch.

You made the right call. No sense rollin' that ATV and breaking your neck.

Don't do it......

badd schidt happens to good people

WWED?

Here's a local trail you'd have fun on.......

or......maybe not .............

purty good area to spot these guys too.........

Iffin' ya got a keen eye.......

this guys was very photogenic........

shot his pics for 30+ minutes

He’s a poseur!

Nice pics tho.

It's like a bonus when you can find these guys out there

sorry Sam

I had no idea people from Montana had minnesoduh accents? Guess I thought they all talked like John and Rip from Yellowstone...

Teeter is more fun than Beth

You don’t have a hair on your ass if you won’t take the Yamaha down there.

Sam, what Lake is that?

Greg

don't ja know.

Sam must a retired for the evening...........

I’d do that for sure on my horse. I don’t do no fancy wheel in’.

2 beers and was snoozin'..




Jack, it's a Rezasotacanuckian accent. Very sexy.



Tzone, live to see another day. And no bent handlebars.



Duck, Fort Peck.



Bended, horse woulda been easy.




On the road again in 10 minutes for another adventure!

Excuse me if this is outta line.
(language)

Samm0, you know an Aussie would do it !

Great scene, worth watching;

Whitey would have got em out of there.

Sam, do you have a good dog coming along?

Paul that was one of my favorite movies growing up. Years ago I heard that scene was quite costly on horses not to mention busted up a few riders.



Idaho, no new dog yet but yesterday evening my mom texted me a pic of a blue heeler and border collie cross pup(s) that are for sale locally.

Hard to start over but you gotta keep on.

We did recently get 3 new saddle horses.

Heeler/BC cross? Interesting.

In my limited experience, you need a 2x4 to get the heeler's attention. But a GOOD heeler is the best dog in the world when handling aggressive range cows.

On the other hand, I have seen range cows run a B/C out of the corral.

The cross might just be the best of both worlds.

"Drives pretty fast on that Oatsmobile. Pretty DAMN fast!"

What a pussy!..Put it in 2WD and get down there...If you don't know the difference on an ATV...Go get stuck again in your 4WD..

LOL

Why aren't you riding your horse?

Sam's not to bright sometimes,Infact he had his picture taken on the pot going cukka.(#2).Oh ya,pants down and the whole enchilada..

Sam,think compression and what it does!

LOL

Give me a shout out Sam,and I'll show 'ya how to do it...

To tell you the truth Sam, that looked like that was one of those times when the picture doesn't do the subject justice. I knew it had to be worse than it looked.

On the topic of Man From Snowy River, I happened to see that movie in Bozeman where they screened it before general release. At that time there was at least twice as much "rough riding" as there was in general release. And when I say rough, I'm not kidding. It was impressive. I'm not surprised at injury to horse and man although I hadn't heard that.
The next time I saw the movie I wondered where all the riding disappeared to.

Whiptail, that pasture(BLM) is big and you can cover 2-3x as much country on a 4 wheeler versus a horse. It does have some rough areas and some trees so my buddy and I figured next time it might not be a bad idea to have someone horseback.

FWIW it took 6 of us two days to gather and move out of it.

I put about 60 miles on the 4 wheeler over the 2 days.




Griz, I just watched it again and it really does look like it would not be a big deal driving down. Real life though is way different.

Last summer a guy was out helping and had a newer 700 Griz, tried climbing a hill way less steep than the one I chickened out and didn't make it.

Luckily he didn't get hurt but the machine rolled several times and needed a couple grand in repairs.




LC go watch TV.

I was racing bikes when you were in diapers...Think compression and all four versus two..Hint..

Hey Sam..Tell Rancho high...He has spunk..

ID, I was wrong, blue heeler and Australian shepherd.

People over in SD have them. They'd probably be good dogs but I've never been around an Aussie.



LC, I talked to Rancho a week or two ago. He had a bunch of shoulder work done and won't be up to blast cock this Fall.

If you would,just tell him I said Hi...Miss his charm..LOL

Will do.

Aussie X huh, never been around an aussie working cattle. Cousins had one for a pet, that don't count.

I got a cute little aussie bitch pup just before the wife and I were married. She was smart as a whip. (the dog, wife was foolish enough to keep me around for almost 35 years now).

Anyway, by the time the pup was old enough to be physically able to run and jump, I had taught her to jump up at the snap of my fingers and nip Momma on the butt. Yea, she still married me and kept me around. shaking head here.

Momma and I were in town at the time and really had no proper place for a cow dog. So I gave the pup to a lady I worked with who had horses and rode for cattle with friends. She said the dog worked out well.

Been meaning to axe what real montanans thought of Yellowstone soap op......not surprised at all by your verdict sam.......cute cooler by the way......is that a standard yeti color or did you have to special order? Kevin C would approve not doubt.

I bet Sam was thinking "Hold my beer" the entire time...

Yellowstone is a park no?


The fugg Costner got to do with it?


I fugging hate that place.

Never been there, wife wants to maybe go someday.

Are you saying it's not nice? We should take a pass on that? Even though we have the Golden Eagle pass or whatever the fugg they're calling it now?

I've never seen a grizzle bear, it's on my bucket list.

Its fugging terrible.


Everybody goes slow as hell. You see a deer. You drive for days.


Its awful.

mebbe I just put in a word with the Golden State Fish and Wildlife Dept to repopulate the State with grizzle bears, seeing as how the dangs things are on our flag and Seal.

That way I won't have to travel to some park and wait in line behind some dumb tourists from Iowa or Kentucky.

gotta go at the right time......bob

Ok, I watched part of the first(?) episode. It was just not believable and that is fine, it's just a TV show.

And truth be known I was trolling for BGG with the goofy 'rant vid.....


AND... That cooler is River Green! Not Seafoam!!!
