Im here JC , just up to my %$#@ in work , you guys are doing just fine without me. Good story telling. OK Joe I believe you now , your limb did hit that cedar tree. You had more guts than I for even carrying that bow in the rough terrain.
Glad I did not have the LDB when I fell off that ledge, from the looks of the bow I was carrying it may not have survived.
No worries JC , I wont show the pic of you with your pants down around you ankles while you pulled cactus spines out here , I will wait for a better time.
After the Little Delta Blow all the animals ended up on one big hill that we decided to try a push from , I and Joe walked several ridges over and down wind with hopes of pushing them toward JC. I dropped off the ridge and got in position about the same level as the animals. The ground was very rocky and uneven with loose rock the main thing to travel on. The sun was beating down at this point and sweat was pouring the sun tan lotion into my eyes, boy did that burn. There were several Rams bellow my path so I dropped even lower and started moving toward the herd . I hoped to get a shot at a big ram as I did this but the loose rock gave me away.
The animals , about 50 in all started out toward JC , Joe was on top in case they made a break up the draw.
Just as the main herd started around the point I saw JC on the sky line, the animals had not due to the curve of the hill top. I had nothing to do but yell "Get down!". To late they saw him ,then dove off the hill like something out of an old western. These animals were very warry and the terain was definately on their side.
