Better watch out Mike..... there's a few fellows that will roast you for hunting out of a stand. They think the only way to 'hunt' is to walk in a few miles, climb on a ridge, glass the area, and put on a stalk. I'd like to see what their attitude would be if they waded around in the bottom or swamp for a while.
Yeah, in order to be a “real hunter” you have to:
1 – Own a “Mystery Ranch, et. al” $500 backpack
2 – Own a super duper lightweight “backpacking” tent acceptable to all phaggot vegetarian fudgepackers.
3 – Own a stove to put in your super-duper lightweight “backpacking” tent, because being a vegetarian puzzy, and hardly any meat on their bones, they can’t handle the cold.
4 - Hunt on public land…ONLY.
5 – Lastly, you can only be a “hunter” if you’re a “backpack hunter” on public land,…BUT you can still call yourself a “backpack hunter”, and
sleep in a hotel while you told everyone you lived out of your backpack, as long as you’re out on the road to the trailhead before they serve the morning breakfast buffet.
