[QUOTE="joep17, post: 1406626, member: 1457"] Perfect Dosh! I have a hunting buddy that I will call "Bair" We have gone in a moose hunting trip for many years near the Simmoette river in northern Alberta. We take our sled trailers, unload our quads, put cots in the trailers to sleep. Put up an outfitters wall tent to cook, and have meaningful discussions during the evenings. 2 years ago we get near our normal spot and the road was washed out. "Blair" decided to look for a new spot to set camp. When a logging road turned off the O&G lease road, the first two trucks turned down. I tried to call Blair on the cell to say that does not look good but there was no cell service After waiting an hour and no one coming back, I ventured down the trail. The first big hill, was slime. I slid all the way down with locked brakes to become fully stuck in the swamp at the bottom right behind the other 2 truck and trailer combos. We had to unload all the quads, unhook my trailer and turn it around on a side x side. Pull it back up the hill with the machines. Then come back with 4 machines and pull my duramax up the hill backwards. Then repeat with wades tailer then truck Repeat with Blairs trailer and truck It was just over 12 hours to get all units 1/2 mile away. A very long day. From that day on, we call it getting "Blaired" rather than getting stuck. However, I should have known as in the 25 years of hunting with Blair, he has always been overly optimistic on the things he tried to drive through. Another time I will discribe his "attempt" to cross a muskeg at McClean creek on his quad. A day later and 300 yards of rope we did get him back out. Last year his moose ran down a ravine and died in a logging pile. Only 2 days to carry it out in 7 pieces to the nearest point we could get ATV's to. 5 years ago, he shot the moose I called in for him. It teetered and then then fell down a ravine. That was another 2 days of my life gone. Nothing ruins a moose hunt like killing a moose hunt. Maybe I need new hunting buddies? Naw, these are the messed up adventures we will be regailing at the nursing home. [/QUOTE]
