The reason I ask is that this is the first year that I’ve used a trekking pole. Was walking a power line last Friday and got pinned down by an old whitetail doe that was leading a group of four across the line. Didn’t know what was behind her, but if one was a nice buck would have had to drop the pole and unshoulder my gun and it doesn’t seem like there would have been enough time to get off a good shot....
