Good suggestion 😂 He is up for almost anything but if we go in deep would probably like if we did llamas. Did a sheep hunt for our first DIY western hunt last year which gave us a good introduction to backcountry hunting.
So I am planning to do OTC archery elk in Colorado this year and want some input on whether to do a full backcountry hunt or a base camp hunt where I would be more mobile. I am 16 and my dad 69 so we aren't the backcountry pair you would think of but did find some elk on a recent scouting trip...
Like others mentioned if on a steep slope have para cord to secure it to a tree. Was doing a sheep solo last fall and ended up sliding a good ways holding onto it with one hand while I tried to keep my knife away from me in the other.
