793 road hunters
30 miles hiked
5 tags in my pocket
4 days of hunting
3 times I've fallen down
2 passed up forkies
1 textbook spot & stalk on a darned nice whitetail, which is now in the freezer (friend's)
1 time getting confused coming off the mountain, leading to an extra 3 miles of walking
0 elk
I've managed to bruise my right patella & pull a calf muscle, had the worst chaffing of my life and suffered through 40 mph sustained winds along the RMF. Couldn't have asked for a better opening week.
