Looks like I need to step up my endurance each day to keep up with you when we get to my hunt. But to steal the line from coachcw: "trust a old wise man . walk up the hill and shoot a bull .....its way easier than running". 
My thought is to let the .300 Weatherby do the running for me   :chuckle:
  well in my defense, I never claimed to be smart, and know one has ever accused me of it either  :chuckle:

No*

I figured you'd have a bull picked out and named by now!

  Dude that would take way to much prior planning.  I just want to load up and go on a 12 day run and gun adventure.  I figure if we call in every bull in a 20 mile radius there is bound to be a good one :chuckle:

  bears must be allergic to me, because I run around in some areas that are prime, spend countless hours behind my glass and I never see any.

This is my "I got up at 0230, hiked for two hours in the dark, summited a mountain peak, to be able to glass up large bull elk.....Only to be hazed in by sweltering heat and some random smoke", look :bash:

When life gives you lemons though, you make lemonade.......or in my case, two vias and a chili mac MH, then a nap :chuckle:
