RE: So What was your toughest hunt?
2 come to mind
One year my Dad and I backpacked into Colorado wilderness area. I killed a big bull, and then it dumped snow on us, and as we were walking in to pack meat out he shoots another good 6x6 bull. Lots of walking and carrying meat for the two of us, not to mention being hampered by the snow and all.
The other was 2 years ago when I got dehydrated and hypoglycemic. My body crashed and burned after a 12 hour, 12,000' altitude hike over 18 miles and I was slipping into a coma. Body got rigid, clammy, eyes rolling up in my head, hands curled like a cripple ......... bad, bad deal. My buddy with me got me to sipping a Dr Pepper and that sugar pulled me through. After I got home, the doctor said that wter would not have helped. At the point I was at, my body would have started shutting down organs etc. My blood sugar was bottomed out, and that sugar gave me a boost and revived me.
Bad, Bad deal folks. Be careful out there
