Past saturday myself and a buddy of mine + his dad went out in my new truck out north of Edson ( not sure how many of you are familiar ith this area), and boy was it a roller coaster day. I guess the day before it had been raining so all the back oil field roads had about 2inchs of slop on top. In this hilly country deary me, i dont think i've ever driven side ways for that long in my life. There was a few times were we thougth we would never get back out. However by the end of the day, we had bagged 9 birds. 5 ruffled 4 spruce. And took back half of edson attached to my truck |

Sounds like fun, although that mud (which seems to run 800 km south to where we've hunted around the Sweetgrass Hills in MT) can be nerve-wracking.
