& I'd think, Vern, that it has much to do with how we hunt.
Where I hunt, soon as I leave the tent, I'm hunting & although I may go that extra 2K+ to "git there," I hope to shoot somethiung much sooner. (Oh, Please God! )
I leave at dawn (no more O'Dark Thirty hikes for me ... ). Hope to shoot something at the door & as such, that's where we camp - we be right at the edge.
My "2K+' climb" (if) is a completely sneaky still hunt to & a gradual sneak back to camp. That (maybe - IF) two miles will take all day. Preferrably, I'll camp in a spot where I can just contour to the best dark spots.
Good thread, Rob. Think it gives an insight to how/where we hunt & what we'd carry for varying climes, etc.
Betcha we could take 4 of us (all good hunters), drop us off & we'd go about it in 4 completely different ways.
Good food for thought.
