This would be mine. Blacktail hunting in Mendocino National Forest Northern California. Tie-rod broke and we rolled end over end down a steep bank. One more roll over and we would have been down the next ravine. Absolutely trashed my FJ Land Cruiser 50 miles from a phone, in bear country too . My buddies shoulder was broke and dilocated and we walked close to 10 miles before someone came along.

Boy I miss that ole hunting rig had the PTO winch and everything.




Anybody else got a sob story?

How biga ole boy are you? LOL Wasnt an option my buddy was in some serious pain and no way I could have done it by myself.

Rolled 2 other Toyotas. I have another pic of a small red Toyota pickup I rolled going 70 on my way hunting Ill try and find. It flipped twice and landed on its tires but they were all blown out. Walked away from all three.

Ouch! How'd you get it out of there? Must have been one heck of a towing bill.

That one will be tough to top.

I was gonna say my wife went and bought a dining room set and bedroom suit while I was working for my landowner but that kinda pales compared to yours.

Went turkey hunting in Missouri,mid 90's,and camped along the Eleven point river,as we had for years.This river doesn't have a flat "river bottom",such as Hatchie,but it just comes down between huge ridges,and big hollers. The first night in camp,they had some bad storms about ten miles up stream from us, and we where camped,four of us in a friends van. I woke up,noticed water standing in the floor of the van,opened the door,and we grabbed our gear and waded in the dark for the nearest ridge. It was like filling a bath tube,the water came up that quick. We where 4 miles from any help,and sat there the rest of the nite in the rain waiting for daylite. As day lite came,we walked out,got help,and came back with a canoe. The water was seventeen foot deep where the van was parked. We lost all our coolers,which floated off,with our food,and the van was a total loss. We stayed in an out building of a local church,located in the Mark twain National forest, and hunted for the rest of the week,then had a friend drive over and pick us up. The brake shoes where so swollen,a log skidder had to pull it out,or should I say drag it out. A wrecker then took it to a local garage,and it was still sitting there a few years ago. The forrestry guys told us that it was a 100 year flood. I beleive it! Still,had a good hunt,and a good time. Things happen.
