WEEK ONE! BUCK CART BUCK?!

Saturday!

Does the cart come before the buck or after?

The crew is ready for the woods, including two of three new trainees referred to as “DIT’s”….Dildos In Training! Since it’s opening weekend, and conditions are fairly good it has been determined that the buck cart that has been stashed in a secret far away location, over 15 years ago should now be “recovered”. Polecat shanghais his single “volunteer” to assist in said recovery, the Toucher! Figuring that this hunt is the usual shakedown hunt of the season, no true hunt is planned. Watchers are stationed below, and are on their own……Leaddog with the DIT’s Nick and Jamie (handles to be earned) follows Polecat and the Toucher as the two go up high and over the top with sort of plans set for some type of hunt on the way out. The buck cart recovery duo is last seen heading down the legendary Chilkoot Pass to where hopefully the buckcart was last stashed. Leaddog shows the DIT’s some local territory, and places them on a watch up high until word is heard from the recovery team.

Excitement is heard, as the two finds their target and now ensues on the long pull UP the mountain before going DOWN the other side back towards beer. In reality only one is pulling, Toucher now has both the buckcart and the bell! Leaddog decides that another plan should be implemented, and directs the newbies to go left of the Hooter Ponds along Hooter Ridge to Camp Valley with Leaddog topping the Ridge to Camp Valley. Much sign is seen up top, and hopefully Leaddog will see the DIT’s down below after their exploratory trek. Steven is found down below, and the DIT’s makes it to Camp Valley, who are both surprised to see Toucher and his prize….the buckcart!

What to do next?!

Leaddog and Steven holds quick council, gets jiggy and instructs the Toucher (who now has three under his bell) to put them on watch, one near the Old Hunting Camp and the other down where Junior The Flatlander got his magnificent 16 pointer. Steven goes left on Camp Knob to the base, with Leaddog going on the top and towards the newbie watchers. Both veteran drivers sees much sign, and as both gets close to Jamie, the first watcher four shots ring out like the 16″ guns on the battleship Missouri!
Seconds pass, and Jamie declares “The Buck is Down”! Proper language will be discussed for next time, as “Brown is Down” is the proper verbiage! It appears the rogue not planned hunt worked in fine fashion! A fine 5 pointer (almost six) was on the ground, Jamies first hunt ever! Go figure! By the way, a 45-70 was the rifle of choice, forty seven birds fell out of the trees with apparent heart attacks and anything with four legs fell right over! Toucher is instructed to bring the buckcart back up the hill for retrieval, and all converge to assist!

Polecat ran to the barn…..

Sunday!

Half the Bunny Hill is hit, and that was it!

Pictures will be up as soon as Digger fixes a few issues with the site…stay tuned!
