After Pop's took the long shot, "Donk's missed chance", he decided to hike down the canyon to look for blood. Now the canyon goes straight down then straight up the other side. It is nasty country that will make climbing Mt. Everest seem like a day hike. Pop's takes off with his radio and GPS, this is important to remember!! After an hour or so Pops decides there is no blood and is going to meet us at the road. We are talking back and forth on the radio's that have GPS built in. Our radio's will show you where each person is when we are talking, this is important to remember!! After another hour of waiting and noticing that Pops is getting farther away on my GPS we tell him that we will drive down the road and meet him on the other ridge. He agrees and tells us that he is right below the road. Donk and I drive the road and notice that Pops signal is not going to come out at the road. He is going the wrong way. We try to convince him of this but he say's that he is "right below us" and can hear the truck, which would be an act of God for him to "hear" anything. All of a sudden Donk yells out, "there he is." And we see Pops walking away on the mountain north of us. After some tense radio traffic we finally convince him to turn around. After a couple hours we get hooked up and he is beat. His clothes were un-tucked and dripping wet with sweat, his face looked like he went a few rounds with Tyson and he was all but dragging his gun. His excuse, I couldn't figure the "danged GPS thing out."
Some people hunt for the joy of it or to be one with the outdoors. We hunt just to see what Pops is going to do next!
