High Country Hunt

[southfork]

My son Seth and the old man managed a quick hunt yesterday ahead of some spring snow . Above 7000 feet and real windy yet warm enough to hunt in a light shirt 6 hours in the high Sierra Nevada's . I found the broken points and scrapers my son found the obsidian Sierra stemmed point a few brokes and cores of jasper .

Are you trying to start something ? We were above 7000 ft and no snow we are having a drought in California its snowing today . Nothing but bare ground on south west facing slopes two days ago only snow was on north facing slopes . When my son downloads photos from his camera Ill post I did not take any photos . There was a lot of bikes and motor cycles riding on dry pavement over the pass 8,314 ft on wed .

Am I trying to start something?!

Nope. Guess something was lost in translation.

I was not questioning your integrity if that’s what your thinking.


I just did a triple check to see the original date on the post. Was seriously scratching my head.
We got a skiff of snow clear down to 3200 feet yesterday in Northern California. Have a good weekend.

Spring snow melt is a good time to look for stuff…those little critters tunneling under the snow bringing new stuff to the surface. I’m sure you already know that.

A forest fire changed things and it was about five years since I was there last . If it was a normal year you would need to wait to July for the snow to melt to hunt . Wow here's a site you can check how much snow was on the ground the day we hunted . It reads 0 end of story .https://wcc.sc.egov.usda.gov/nwcc/site?sitenum=633

Again, let’s get this straight, I was not questioning the veracity of your hunt.

No snow up that high this time of year is sad and scary at the same time.
I know those types of trips are to be enjoyed and remembered. Good times.

Finding relics in such a beautiful spot is a reward above the relics.

No its public land managed by BLM .

Thank you. Second question i thought we are not allowed to take those home lol on National forest Or BLM land in Ca or is that in NV ?

 

[southfork]

I don't give legal advice maybe I took them back ? But there's an massive open pit mine close by so I don't think picking up a shiny rock is going to hurt anything .

Number one rule I learned today…walk with a 2:00 shadow. Dang things jump out so much better!!

Trying to upload some photos from my sons camera . Big meadow about 7'400 feet and me looking for the camp . And this rock that looked like a marker ? But just a rock with softer elements weathered away over time . And a photo of the obsidian point my son found laying on the forest litter .

Man, those rocks look intentionally stacked. Cool pics.
