Its the worst kind of addiction. Hit hurts so bad but you like it so much. I have never had an easy pack out. Closest to a road was an Idaho bull that was about a half mile in nasty timber. Last years cow was almost 6 miles :yike: The reward is great, but the pain, sweat and blood makes you second guess yourself. You curse life and the weight on your back. You hurt for a week afterwards. Then two weeks, you heal and you think it wasn't so bad. A month goes by and it turns into an epic adventure and your convinced you will do it again. Shortly after that the obsession kicks in, your jonsen to get back in the hills, looking at google earth and planning next years hunt...yes, your addicted, you cant fight it, there is no- permanent cure. You learn to live with it and move on. Sometimes people try to mask it, trying new addictive things, sheep, mule deer etc...it just makes it worse. Your body builds up resistance over time and instead of counter acting the effects of the all mighty bugle, you have just compounded your addiction. Now your really screwed....welcome to the dark side coach...but something tells me you have always been here..
:chuckle: exactly! :yeah:

Lucky my ass. You make your luck and I have seen you do it for years. Nobody I have ever hunted with comes close to what you are willing to do to get the job done. You have almost killed me a few times. Remember "I knew what I was getting in to". It was a lie. Can't tell you how many times we have stopped at a nasty overlook and I thought "OH PLEASE NOT HERE". Sure enough a bugle and over you go. Being a few years older I find it easier now to pick you up at the other end than trying to keep up. I am blessed to have had the chance to hunt with you. Love you brother and all the guys! Can't wait for another season.

Elk hunting is all I think about and this forum only fuels my addiction. It's a vicious circle. I'm addicted to big bulls. There... I said it. :drool:You certainly have a good spot!! :chuckle: 8)

:tup: Was holding good groups at 50 yards today. Time to get back in a good routine of shooting my bow consistently. Been driving around bugling blowing out my eardrums in the truck! Season will be here before you know it!

between the final meat processing with the family... the physical & mental anguish of hauling meat for days...the amount of joy walking up to your year/life long dream....the moment nature takes over your body during the last moment he was king...the days/weeks of chess games and failed attempts....the camp comradery...packing in camp....the scouting...the training...the dreaming of giants
Ya...it can't be beat

So much this.... Coach's motor doesn't know idle. Who needs water, lights or a knife when the bugle up the hill might be the one? I was definitely lucky to be there when the hammer stroke fell this year and still can't believe it wasn't in one of the 300 hell holes that it could have been. Some of the best days of my life have happened in the last two years thanks to Aaron Blanchard and you ya crazy hunting son of a gun. Laughter and tears, sleepy time driving, maps, gear reviewing, Blizzards, shootem's Swaro scope, RT's crazy brotherhood and blrmans's passion... I count myself a lucky man to get to help plan the next adventure we head out on. My son will never forget the gift of his first bull thanks to you... And I can't wait to see what the next tag is you draw as we will have too much fun. Here's to next season being better than the last!
