[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 1171280, member: 10391"] Most of the places I hunted was a long way from a trail head so never found much stuff laying around. Here is something that happened that I thought was one in a million. What do you think. Hunting Utah in the early 60's Mt Belknap. Early on we were the only guys hunting the top of Fish Creek at about 8-10,000 feet. I started noticing in some of the most remote areas on that mountain there would be a name carved in an Aspin. The name was Owen Despain. Me and my buddies would talk about it when we would meet up for the night and wonder who and the hell that guy was. It was my last trip into that country in 1986 when I ran into a fella sitting looking down into one of my favorite canyons. We talked for awhile and I asked him how he found this place. His answer was my grandfather used to run sheep in here during the summers. You know what my next question was right? What was your grandfathers name and his answer was Owen Despain. Now we are sitting 5 miles from where the jeep was parked in a drainage that is 20 miles long and at about 9,000 feet .What are the odds?? We talked for a couple hours. One of a kind and memorable day!! [/QUOTE]
