[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 2890759, member: 29323"] Most people never get much adventure in their lives. Spending time in the woods provides it. I found an elk shed while hunting and stashed it about 50 yards off the road. Went back after dinner to retrieve it. Walked to where I thought it was, couldn't find it, and wandered around in a circle for a while looking. When I gave up, I realized I had no idea which way to the road. I carry a small kit on my pack with fire starters, compass, and a few other essensials, which I did not have. I guessed right, but now that kit stays on my belt. Got lost on a hunt once and bushwhacked to where the map showed a trail. Walked the trail for quite a while before I realized we had hiked over the top of the mountain and down the other side. Hauled *** up the trail to try to find the trail junction we needed. Found the right trail, by now it was 10:00 pm and were hiking up to the top when I see 10 or 12 pairs of eyes in the dark. Luckily, they were dogs followed by cougar hunters with one strapped to a horse. I once googled wolves killing humans, because the green weenies tell us they never do. I didn't find much in the 20th century, but one story from the 19th century I'll never forget. Two hunters didn't return from their hunt. A posse went out to find them, and did. Sort of. They found their clothes, their empty rifles, and 17 dead wolves. The wolf population is exploding. Just wait, and go armed, with extra ammo. I was once cleaning my deer and slipped on some wet algae covered rock. Fell cheek first on a prickly pear. I was standing there in the dark, pants around my ankles picking spines out of my butt. I happened to glance to the right, and about 50 ft. away I see eyes. I upped the light intensity, and it was a cougar. I was 15 feet from my rifle. If he had wanted me, I'd be gone. I fired a round between his ears and he leaped 10 feet in the air and ran off. I jacked another round in so fast that I wasn't able to find the ejected shell the next day when I went pack. [/QUOTE]
