Honestly it has been a very longtime since I have heard of someone tough enough to Backpack out overnight for two days in a row of Hunting and then Backpack out all their Gear + a Deer or Elk, or maybe a Moose. How about you guys?
Coming from a tinfoil hat wearing offroader, that's really not a surprise.
Sorry, couldn't resist... your forum name is low hanging fruit.
Lol...you make a very good point and it's all good! But seriously? How big can a Zone or District you were lucky enough to draw a tag in be that you can't just use road access and a Base Camp to hunt from? We have very large Zones out here and they can still be walked across in half a day. Why abuse yourself with an additional 40-50 Lb pack of gear? Alaska and Canada with very little road access maybe but here in the States?
When I no longer have the right to protect my own person or property...my person and property have become public property in common.
