[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 1984418, member: 91783"] This past Saturday my wife and I took a ride up the mountain to look at the fall foliage . We went up into the places that I started my coyote hunting career . On the fifty mile drive up I got to thinking about all the things that I experienced on that road and in that area over the years . I shared some with her that she didn't hear about in the past 45 years . Like when the big boar bear jumped off the 10 foot high cut bank and lit a few feed in front of me . When I was 35 miles from town and 10 miles from any home and had a small Australian shepherd puppy run out of a rock pile by the road in front of me . I didn't know what I was going to do with it but just not leave it there it was maybe 8 or 9 weeks old . When I stopped it ran up to me tail wagging and very happy to see someone . I picked it up gave it some water and a little food from what I kept in my truck . We then started on down the road to finish checking my coyote sets . We have what are called alley ways where both sides of the road are fenced back about 20 feet from the road . When ranchers are trailing live stock up or down the mountain it gives them a place to take a break eat lunch and rest the stock a little . it was in one of these that the puppy was . About a half mile from there a rancher flagged me down asking me if I might have seen a little puppy . He explained that they had trailed cattle down the day before and stopped for lunch when the puppy wandered off . I told him I sure did and had it with me they both were happy as pigs in mud to see each other . It was along this same road that I helped a friend of mine get her last elk . It was a nice day with no wind , about 5 or 6" of snow the temp was above freezing the snow was soft and quiet walking in it . Janice's son flagged me down and said Mom got a cow tag this year have you seen any today ? I said that I had and would take her with me back to where some were bedded in some willows on the creek .
