Which tells me they went off track not very far from entrance.
I was trying to follow the deer droppings but the vegetation was too thick and it was pretty hard to go through with bow in one hand.
Also it was so hard to find the way back when I go off the track.
I heard a few roars(?) but I wasn't sure if it was a buck, a hunter or a sheep around there.
So after going up for like 1hour and 30 minutes, I came to stream that I couldn't jump over. I wasn't prepared for this and I didn't want my shoes wet when I have 1 and a half hour to walk more. So decided to just head back.
I saw some chickens on the way back down. Am I allowed to shoot them?
Is hand held gps useful for finding way back to track?
I saw about 4 puddles around track. Do deer come to the puddles for bath or drink often around track? That is where I found deer droppings.
The mountain was great, I will be going back next week.

Methinks I smell a Troll around here somewhere.......
