One of the funniest analogies to this topic.
When mule deer hunting above timberline. It usually involves 4 am wake up. 2.5 hour ride in the dark on mules. Tying them off at 8000 ft elevation. Then climbing 500 to 1000 vertical feet to get to the summit.
I hear it from my buddies and I think it my self " if I am gonna shoot one in this hell hole, it has got to be a whopper!"
Very counter intuitive........ a dink would be easier to get out. Heck you could pan fry a squirrel and call it good!
