I'm a southern flatlander with two weeks of vacation each year. This year I'm doing a public land backpack hunt out west with a friend. I do not have a tag, I'm just along for an extra set of eyes and legs. This is not uncommon, lots of guys roll that way. To me it has little to do with what goes on the wall. To some it has all to do with what goes on the wall. Heck, I've been on the trail every morning for the last several months at 4:30 with a headlamp and 60lb pack just so I can tag along. Whatever floats your boat. I wouldn't do a canned hunt for a "world record" elk if it were free. Others will pay a crazy amount of money for it. If thats how you like to spend your money and time its sure not for me to criticize. FWIW, my wife thinks I'm the crazy one. It might have something to do with setting up and testing my sleeping system, including tent, in the bedroom for the last several nights. LOL
