[QUOTE="COmtnman1, post: 2975638, member: 68967"] I appreciate how you described the "backpack" hunting the way you did, the passion & desire & willpower to do it all on your back with a group, but also to individuals that probably do it alone as well & how the old age just catches up way too fast!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although i've never hunted in griz country, don't really know how i'd feel about that? But, used to hunt alone, more than with someone. Always carrying more than i needed, heavy pack, didn't care😎😱🙄. I haven't had the medical issues you have but just the age comes into play, i'm also on the downhill side of 65 & am just hoping for one more year of hunting, 2024🤨😜! Started hunting that way in the mid/late ninety's. But most of those years, when we killed something, we just had to pack the meat to a horse trail & get it hauled out. Still like that kind of hunting tho & probably do it as long as physically able to do so & as always, carry too much weight!! It's just really hard to teach an old dog new tricks🧐🥴. Just an old fan of, "rather have it & not need it, than need it & not have it😳🫣🤬! [/QUOTE]
