No BS< Greg, this one is for you and your canyon comment on the last post.
I have a good friend that helped me get started years ago. He is an avid bow hunter, and a good shot with a rifle. We were hunting goats on the catalina island and had hunted for 3 days. It was hot, humid, just the miserable hunt that you can expect on a stupid island. Many times, I suggested that we go swimming. We had less than 2 hours left, when my friend, Ron, spotted his first shootable goat. The animal was about 150 yards away, so he shot it with my rifle. Heart shot!
But a runner. The goat ran around 30 yards, to the edge of a cliff, and then over the cliff. Ron and I went to the edge of around a 150 foot cliff, and saw his goat, in the water. Ron looked at me, and said. "You ask about swimming one more time, and I will push you off this ledge!"
We have not been back, but what a crazy way to end a hunt. I cannot remember it without grinning.
Hardpan.
