Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game When do you pich your tent on a hunt?

When elk and deer hunting, once we get to our camp site, we (my hunting buddy and I):
1. Set up our tipi and wood stove or smaller one man tents
2. Using our MSR Mini-works, collect about 4 or 5 gallons of water
3. Cut and/or collect enough firewood for a couple of days.
4. Scout the area we are hunting
5. Cook dinner, and have a drink or 6 and turn-in as early as possible to get ready for hunting the next day.

This schedule has worked well for us in the past and I see no reason change.

God, man, have you no sense of adventure????

Like tail-end of Pacific cyclones/broken tent poles, flooding creeks, etc???

I have no idea why my boys now in their 30s are reluctant to go "hunting" with me.... Puzzzies...

Holy crap I love it
