With it being such a large animal to pack out How do you overcome the rush when a chance To shoot comes along and control that urge ? I could see myself not overcoming that urge and have a long long pack out! Getting in there looks very tough ,,packing a animal out looks overwhelming.

There's a lot of logging roads, if you know the area well, you can at least get to one of them while packing out. I've passed on a few over the last couple years. In sure it'll bite me but, I have a lot in the freezer this year. What's weird is I have never gotten that nervous, buck fever feeling while elk hunting. Just as weird, my son's never killed an animal with a bow and he's only killed a few deer and he was so calm when we met up after the encounter last nite.

We did a camo comparison today. Kuiu vias vs some sitka gear. By eye and camera, the kuiu broke up the human outline better. There were 3 of us there and all agreed. Would you post a pic of the test?
83% of all statistics are made up.

I don't have a photo, my bud took the shots. I knew the kuiu would do better just cause sitka p patterns so tight. Same results from 35ish in Sun and shade. His son's camo pant in some timber pattern was the worse.

Was in the edge of a clear cut and noticed a yellow jacket nest had been dug into by a bear and I jumped back a few feet. Bad part, I landed next to this nest of bald faced hornets that had been dug as well. Needless to say I ran over the yellow jackets to get away from the hornets. Got hit by a couple a few years ago and its worse than the yellow jackets for sure. My lab agrees I grew a set and snuck back for a photo
