Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
I knew that would get your attention fast :-laf:-laf:-laf Had to come in to town to report to Sheriff. I went and turned myself in :-laf, Was with our hunting group and ran across 2 BUTT heads from OR. They had a horse so loaded down with equipment that it could not put it's head down to get a drink from a stream without falling. They asked about a valley that they were going to hunt and wanted help. (stupid people come out here and dont know where they are going!!!!!) My Niece and myself were looking at the poor horse (shes a Veterinarian) it had to have been at least 20 years old looking at its teeth ,under fed ,dehydrated, I took off my hat and filled it with water and the horse sucked it dry about 10 times. I asked if they were going to stop for the nite before they tackled 2 pretty good size passes 1 of which is VERY STEEP and hard on animals IN GOOD CONDITION. Their response was no why plenty of day left? Niece said because if you try the first pass you'll drop this horse on the trail!!! They didn't seem to concerned about it and away they went.
After lunch we got going and ran into them about a mile from the top of the first pass and sure as hell that horse dropped dead. They were taking the gear off and strapping it to another saddle horse and were going to leave. They were asked about the horse they said its just good food for predators. We were getting 2 of my gang in harness and along came the Fish and Game and Forest Serv. they asked what happened like they didn't know
. They had been told about a party of 2 that didn't have to much going for them and thought that they would check into it. We were going to pull the horse off the trail and get it down into the trees where the predators could take care of it without endangering anyone on the trail. While we did that Niece talked to them and the FG and FS went after the 2 of them. We split at a trail at the top of the pass and went to our camp. 2 days later the FG came to our camp and asked to see the tags for the game we had taken and asked if our Niece and Myself would come to town and give a statement about the condition of the horse and what we had seen. No big deal we had to take game into town a few bears were around but there must be a cat convention in the BOB cat prints everyplace you go. We rode in today and gave our statement and were told that the 2 were going to pay dearly for what they did and DIDNT EVEN HAVE TAGS to hunt!!! It's funny the Niece and I were having lunch and she asked me what was wrong uncle BIG? Just when ya think and start to believe some that say that im a little weird and then this kind of crap comes along and ya know im not the one that's " F " up it's OTHERS!!~!! weird yes but NOT " F " UP!!!
On a side note great days a field we have tagged 2 Elk and 3 Mule deer could have taken more but looking for some bigger game have plenty of time and Nephew has done a great job on camp.

D4L I take care of our stock BY CHOICE they are just a TOOL to some but I dont look at it that way. I think they kind of like being out in the woods rather than a stable even thou they work their butt off.
(thank you very much)
