I think about it a wonder how a guy would work it out given hunting pressure?

I know spots that the elk consistently travel through, and have often thought of using a ground blind. Would be nice in the rain I think.

Just never sure how to deal with the elks travel paths when hunter pressure has them off thier normal routine.

I have no patience for sitting. Always woried I'm missing something over the next rise kind of guy.

You get you had hunting in and then "Stay in the woods" longer with a comfortable seat... :twocents: Haven't shot one yet but working on it... I think it is a must for Blacktail...
