Meaning....do you have time to track, gut, deal with, pack out, call in support, cut, clean, cool down etc the critter. Imo, hunting is nothing.....being successful is hard work after one lil ol trigger pull.The reason I stopped hunting big fur critters. After a long day ‘hiking with hunting gear’, bow in this case, I called in a nice deer late in the day. It had been raining light all day and I was wet and tired. Went to full draw and thought about all the work that would start as soon as I released. Yelled instead and watched it bound off. Figured if it was not worth the work any more it was time to hang it up. May go again at some point. Got a ‘new’ Buddy with lots of Elk on his land and an invite. I would just have to share some. I WILL NOT pay for processing my critter. That is part of the ‘work’. Elk are a LOT of work to process.You DO need to consider what happens ‘after’. Particularly if you are way back and remote. Have spent from nearly a day dragging a critter (with another person) to having a deer roll down a hill on to the side of a road. That one was 45 min from parking to start hunting to heading out with the gutted deer! My partner only got one boot on!Can’t count on an easy time.You stopped hunting because “it’s a lot of work”? the work is what makes it so rewarding to me.

There are a LOT of things that are becoming more like ‘work’ these days. One day, you will say that as well………
Well dang, if I'm eating cat food. I would have to admit to being REALLY LOST.
I hear a Whistle is a good idea.....
