If I did shoot a bear on the way in, the gf wouldn't want to go home.  And if I get an opportunity on the way out, I'll have hiked a rifle the entire time and dont want the extra weight.  Plus, I'm not sure my gf wants to pack out a bear with me.  We might need more conditioning to get to that state.


that pretty much sums up who wears the pass in that relationship.

I have been a lurker on this site for quite awhile but love this.  Reminds me of my elk hunting days in the 70's.  I was a rookie and then became the old timer.  I was lucky enough to hunt the Blues back in the good old days.  Helped pack out a couple of big 7x7's out of the watershed, that made a man out of you or killed you quick, but never drew the tag myself.  We had a cast of characters in our camp and I lived for that 2 weeks every year.  Later on I hunted Idaho, Montana, Colorado and BC.  Just want to congratulate you on making this an enjoyable read and look forward to the escapades at camp and some good field pics of the harvests.  SBlacktail.

Okay....the success of any good relationship is compromise............she carries the rifle on the way in and you promise to not shoot anything. The second to last do you get the go ahead to blast critters. You carry the heaviest load possible on the way out. Bear hide gets made into a rug, you build a fireplace in that new house, you will be engaged/married by the time the rug is done, babies are produced upon said rug and you can look back on the hike and hunt with love and admiration in each others eyes.

Hows that?

To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.
