LOVE IT!!! Good point and well taken. A little about me;
age 33, been hunting for 4 years now. First year, scored a black bear. Second year, scored a small deer. After that it was a 2 x 2, then last year another 2x2.
Military experience , (excellent with land nav) and NCAA all american a few years back. This is why I got such a late start. Wish I could have grown up hunting, but sports paid my way to college.
Just got back from Alpine. 16 miles in one day. 2600ft - 6500ft. I run a few days a week. I follow the rules, and protocol. If someone was kind enough to let me join, then certainly would be grateful. You asked about gear....... now the shortfall. I did the high hunt last year. Got completely drenched. My "waterproof" gear of course failed a few days into the hunt. Had to spend half a day drying all the gear out over a small campfire. IT SURE WAS FUN! LOL So, since, new pants, gators , gear. The next big thing is tent. Think I am leaving the 5lb tent behind in place of a tarp lean-to. Ideas?
*assuming I find someone to play with.......
