I turn teh hounds on her and they caught her in the wide open. I thought we were going to have a big mess... but she slowly worked her way to a ledge and bailed off, like 30-40 feet down and landed right by Boone. She then turned and ran into a cave. Jesse and I crawled back into the cave to dart her.. it was tight as the roof of the cave was only 18 inches high in places. it was pretty intense for a few seconds when the dart hit her. Their first reaction is flight, but we were plugging the hole so it was a bit intense when she lunged forward and started biting at the dart... alll in all, it was a good trip with terrible snow... made us work hard.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR-cmOndQv5yobHFFNgmdCPBh95GrkxtsBMH-o7-FNNZd1nl25UfjrZkalyeTNnqJNvu1XCu4oR4A-RcftSCdKfk3OUYfbN65Xa76BbyYD-zLJJrAUXjj2hNV-ml-jQ2K4Nqh1NRbE3Fk/s1600/DSC_0171.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;
