RE: 32- Team S.B.D.: " Silent But Deadly" Official Thread:
Sorry guys but the weather did me in this trip. We flew out in a float plane on Friday morning for a remote bay about 40 miles south of town. We got out that evening for a few hours before dark and my friend shot a doe with his .30-06. We spent most of the next day holed up in camp by 30 kt. winds and rain, we managed to get out for a couple hours but saw nothing. Sunday barely allowed us to get out of the tipi and I didn't get afield at all for the mixed rain and snow. Monday morning was more of the same but it cleared off in the afternoon enough to let us get out for a couple hours before the plane showed up at 4pm, once again we saw nothing except tracks of both deer and a real fresh bear right behind camp. As we broke camp there was a doe looking down at us from right behind camp. In all I saw 6 deer and no racked bucks and between the 3 of us we only saw one big fork horned buck. So goes 2006; the #2 archery SCI reindeer and a blown opportunity at a P&Y blacktail. I guess I can't complain but wish I could've pitched in for the team more...
