I had a heart attack this summer, and when he shot his first deer a few weeks ago, he wounded it.

This is the start of a bad situation.


We tracked it about a mile into the bush

This tells me you have no idea about tracking deer. To track a deer about a mile either means a non fatal hit or a gutshot deer that was pushed prematurely.


I sent him back for the quad.

You seperated. Not good. You did not even find the deer first. A man with a history of heart problems should not be alone in the bush anymore than a young kid.


He not only found his way to the quad and back, he also told me all of his back up plans and what he would do if something happened to me while I was in the bush and he was gone.


You seem suprised. He could do NOTHING for you you while you were in the bush and he was gone. He would have found you much too late to help.


We were both beat, so I guess he was worried. He's a tough, smart kid and I'm pretty proud of him.

You should be proud of him. He was worried because you did not make good decisions and he was able to put that aside and still function the correct way in a difficult situation.

He'll be fine and will be just as adventurous as I am. Maybe more so. If we only went to safe places, we'd miss all the best hunting and fishing.

Thankfully it worked out this time. What about the next time. I hope he is prepared because you are not.

Well, there isn't much point in getting into my tracking ability, my hunting ability, or anything else on this thread. Those of you who enjoy such things can continue finding ways to bash me. I have thick skin so I'll just opt out from here on in and let you guys have your fun.

It would appear that you have a habit of asking questions. It would also appear that you have an adversion to answering said questions.

I didn't question any of these things. I questioned your judgement.

thick skin helps when someone points out how many stupid things you did in one "adventure"


I have to say that Bert hit the nail on the head over and over like a carpenter.

Here let me share some advice now...you should NEVER go winter wheeling with one truck. Winch, land anchor,tools and all the expierience in the world you are still asking for it. A long walk out in below freezing conditions could kill you or your son. If you like doing this stuff then find some friends and take at least two trucks.

Also keep in mind as a parent your sons life is not yours to risk, it is yours to protect.
