Macrabbit, I hear what you are saying, but I had hunt go south 1 year and was out alone. Went for pack boards while 2 guys took care of a spike elk. When I got back to the elk they were gone and the elk was hung to cool, but it was 10 pm. Thought about spending the night by the elk, and wait for them to return the next morning. But I figured they would be concerned and looking for me so I hiked back out. When I got back to base camp all were asleep with their teddy's. They didn't worry abit because they knew my skill level. My son said he figured I had bivy'd for the night.
