[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1335082, member: 13632"] I had to make a solo mule deer trip one day, fresh snow in late season cold and crisp, had to go hunt it. I borrowed a 4 wheeler which is the first time I had in many years. Stopped and unloaded and got back in a few miles and not a soul had been in there in a few days, mule deer bucks we're running the ridges and it was epic. I slid down what looked like a small boulder but ended up being a little deeper and under the snow was a large tree limb and I heard my ankle blow up when I hit bottom. I could not walk or hobble in sub zero weather in thigh deep snow, after a while I was able to crawl my way to the 4 wheeler, I managed to get it drove back to the truck in the dark but could not get it loaded in the truck, kept sliding off the ramps and I could not get the truck to move without the weight in the back. I drove the 4 wheeler out to the main road about 10 miles and by the grace of God some guys were on the main road out and I caught them so they could follow me out so if I passed out or couldn't make it I wouldn't die. I made it another 15 mile and ran out of gas in my dad's drive way, I flipped into the door and it never felt better to get home. Ankle will never be the same and I just don't hunt by myself anymore. There was a long list of thing that the good Lord put in place for me to get out of that alive, I would not have lived the night out there, between the weather, poor planning and solo trip, not good.
