Got out huntin and fishin up there yesterday. Started an hour before first light up in the mountains west of the 'Field looking for a nice Muley next to a CWMU unit. What a mistake. Messed up the left knee pushing a quakie patch to my little brother. [
] [pirate] Stupid, stupid, stupid injury. I shoulda been looking for anything I could fall over. And for what? 7 cow elk and 2 big bulls. Hopefully it's nothing major like the last time I went down. I've got 6 hunts I've gotta go on this year, along with another vacation next weekend.
After that fiasco I thought about just going home and bagging the fishing with my parents. But I decided against it. Got there and started fishing with them. My mom and dad did good, again. My mom scored the biggie with a 4#, 20" rainbow. They both got 5 or 6 for the day. My brothers both got 2 or 3. Heck, even my little bro's girlfriend got 1. Me? I scored a big fat 0. Then, just to add insult to injury, I broke the tip off my rod in the rocks when I stumbled.[mad] Stupid knees. Never shoulda ran track.
Worst day in the outdoors I've had in a long, long time, by far. Hopefully Oregon will be better next weekend. Should be. I've always got the hot hand up there at least.
