I miss the high country!
« on: January 02, 2011, 07:19:05 PM »
I cant wait for the snow to melt so I can get back up there. Any of you guys feelin the same way as winter drags on?
Here are some pics of my 2010 deer hunt, one of the most fun hunts ive had even though I wasnt successful.
And yes I hunt in shoes during early season  :chuckle:

Wow...skate shoes even huh? Not even a pair of athletic styled shoes with traction on them? Your feet must be SORE at the end of the day.

Nice pics  ;)

Yes, I'm itching to get back into the high country too. I just love it up there.

Last high country camp I made, I cut weight on my pack.. didn't take any camp shoes. My boots are comfortable, but I really wanted to take my boots off.  :bash:
