A few things i go by when hunting, but to each their own.
1. If you would shoot it on the last day, shoot it on the first day
2. Each day hunting is not a day at work.
3. Plan as much time as you can, plan to spend the time you plan. I you get 3 days, HUNT 3 days, not 2 or 2 1/2.
4. If you get something down the last day, you can always call in "sick" to have a day to pack out.
5. Go in with a plan and stick with it.
that being said, plan the pack out ahead of time. Are you hiring a service? Are you DIY? Develop the plan and carry out the plan.
On item 5, I am still guilty and remind myself to this day. Stick to the plan. I don't do this but learned my lesson last year. I was impatient and got up to move too much. I knew and was told ahead of going in, stay in this spot. I didn't. I saw game day 1, day 2 and nothing day 3. I started moving. By day 5 or 6, I would have filled earlier had I stayed in one spot. I realize this isn't every hunt, but next hunt I will stick to my plan and scouting and trust it more than going by feel. I decided on day 5 or 6 sit still. It paid off. Had I sat, I know for a fact I would have filled 1-2 days earlier based on other hunters filling tags in the same place.
sorry for the rambling
