I hear ya on the doing it again, was short lived pain, can't wait to do it again, back at it tomorow, then again sunday, have one berry patch I found on labor day that I can't get out of my mind. My hunting partner now carries a pack frame for all of our bear hunting (I didn't have it on that pack because he was a work
I was hunting solo) the first bear down this year was a serious hassle to get out, ever since then pack frame. He straps a smaller hydration pack to the outside of it, to hold water and hunting gear then when we get one down, the badlands takes the hide and all the gear the pack frame easily carries out an entire bear minus the hide and gear.
