Things from the backcountry that you cant unsee...

[805Bowhunter]

I had mentioned this topic once before on hunttalk but had a laugh with my brother about it last night. Was reminiscing about a Colorado archery elk hunt from a few years back and got to laughing pretty hard about a crazy experience from the hunt. Thought I would share it on here for multiple reasons...1)To continue the therapeutic healing process. 2) To see how many of you just have stories of crazy stuff you've seen or encountered on hunts.

We were packing out my partners elk and had made it to the trail. From that point we had about 2.5 more miles on the trail to the truck. As we're trekking along, we round a fairly sharp corner and walk straight into a hippy couple in the dirt, as naked as the day they were born, humping each other's brains out. Literally in the middle of the trail. I went from enjoying nature as much as one possibly can to literally looking at a dude's butt with his ladies legs in the air. They heard us but didn't really care to stop/move. There was not a huge amount of clearance to get around them on either side, and after seeing enough, I simply said, "excuse me" as my brother and I walked by (still seeing way too much). The guy going to work on his girlfriend said, as we were both walking past them, "Sorry guys...I gotta go to pound town."

I didn't know whether to laugh or puke. All I know is no matter how hard I try, I cannot "unsee" or "unremember" that brief moment in time. Happy Wednesday. Anyone come across crazy or random crap that they stumble across in the backcountry?

I'd like to unsee a big 6 pt bull run off with an arrow stuck in his flank. Puke.

Deer hunting in the Rubies one year. After hiking for 1 1/2 hours in the dark I slipped over the edge of a large bowl and hunkered down under some ribbon cliffs and waited for daylight. It had been light for about 20 minutes and I was busy glassing when I caught something out of the corner of my eye. As I slowly turned I saw another hunter 50 yards from me dropping down below the same ribbon cliffs. He no sooner stopped when he dropped trow' and took a big dump, his butt right at me. Never even knew I was there. Somethings you just can't un see ! Ruined my whole day...

A bugle tube would have been handy.

Stumbled on a full production porno at rock climbing area in the Hills behind Santa Barbara. As I got back to the trail head, I noticed a family (with little ones in tow) about to start off in that direction. It was fun watching the parents faces as I cryptically explained the situation.

In an area near where I live, I actually came across a couple that was freaking out on mushrooms. They were both hypothermic after being lost all night and not being able to find their car. They were about 20 yards from it. Were both actually in pretty bad shape as they had spent the whole night in the dirt in shorts/shirts/no shoes.

I've eaten so many mountain house meals. There isn't usually time to properly look around before dropping trow. I apologize to anybody who may have been offended. Sorry

there are a few intsagram sites promoting people to take pictures of themselves in various states of undress. last year in Colorado somewhere up near steamboat we hopped up on a ridge to see a couple posing in front of a camera on a tripod with their pants around their ankles and a very beautiful sunset in the background. i asked if they needed any help with their photography but they did not take me up on it.

this had nothing on the time i was camping in a commercial campground in california though. This campground is at collins lake east of Marysville. campsites are stacked one on top of the other and it pretty much sucks. anyway there was a group of young adults partying next to us. At one point I heard noises coming from the area of my truck... thinking someone was screwing with my truck i got out of my tent to find a very skinny tweeker dude, pants around his ankles, with a very fat tweeker chick bent over MY TAILGATE. I swear to you she outweighed him by 200 lbs. i just laughed and shined my light on them and watched them scramble.

This wasn't in the backcountry, but one morning while waterfowl hunting in MO there was a tent pitched next to the water about 200 yds from me. ( didn't see it until the sun came up) After daylight a car pulled up and honked then a dude got out of the tent and went up to it and left. about 30 minutes later another guy pulled up and went in to the tent. Pretty soon the same car pulled up and honked again then that guy left. This went on all morning about every half hour. Eventually a sheriff car pulled up and came down to the water, and removed a lady from the tent and hauled her away in handcuffs. Disgusting.
