Another hard case story is that when Craig and I were in the Kawekas a couple of weeks ago, a mate of ours heard us on our hand-helds after I had shot a deer, and he was about 10 kms or more away. When he saw Craig the other day he asked him which one of us told the other to "get fucked"
The story was that our voices are very similar, and that I had called Craig to say I had got one down in a steep gully and I was going to leave it there for the morning, or he could come down and help. His reply was “Nah, bring it up and I will see you on the ridge top”. My final word to him about that before I switched off was “get fucked”. And by pure chance, someone out there who new us and recognized our voices picked that comment up.
I did carry it up that night.
Sorry about the thread hijack.
