Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Recreational Backpacking?

To reiterate what I'd posted on the other thread, I've done a lot of backpacking but about 5 years ago we got into these things. As we get older, a few heavier luxuries sure are nice on the trail. I can go a lot farther when I'm light on my feet, not to mention when there's meat to be packed.

As a followup to this photo:
About 5 min after I took this, my wife raised her arms to pull her hair back. She didn't have hold of the lead and the llama spooked a bit from her arm wave. As soon as he found he was loose, he headed for camp at high speed. We chased him down off the mountain and for the next half hour. We'd come up in the dark and he got lost about half way to camp and was going in circles. I'd get about 10 yds from him, and he'd take off again. Finally, I left my wife to keep track of him an hiked down to camp for another llama. Once I got that one up there, this one walked right up and I caught him. I was ready to field test my rifle on the bugger.
