i was tracking a good deer. i have a very bad back and can not walk very far.the luer of the buck kept me going. i went down hill for alomst 1.5 miles. all i wanted was to get the deer and i never worried about getting back. finally my legs gave out and i could no longer walk. it was very warm at this time. i was on an old road by myslef and no help or way to get back to my 4 wheeler.i knew i was in trouble because all the walking had me hot on top of the heat.i actually passed out.i came to and could still not walk. i could not even stand.i actuallt started worrying about dying.i crawled under a bush and laid their trying to collect my thoughts.as i started peeling my clothes off i found that i had placed my cell phione in a pants pocket.the only prob was that i did not know any of the area numbers and 911 does not work in a bad area.i called my house and got my wife.i told her where i was the best i could and told her i loved her. the next thing i knew a paramedic was loading me on a stretcher. he asked me why i did not go to the house and ask for help. i was so delerious from the heat and exhaustion i never saw the house.they got lots of fluids in me and took me to this close by cafe. i drank 6 glasses of tea.i never go hunting alone any more due to my back.
