even as someone who hunts in running shoes as long as humanly possible you are absolutely right about this, having a rigid, sharp-edged sole is where it's at when it gets steep and muddy, these days I wear microspikes a fair bit as well, especially in blowdowns, it's nice to be able to step on snowy logs without falling and breaking your femur
Cheese pizza warned MtnElk that he would likely need micro spikes and an ice axe to hang with me Friday morning… the micro spikes are definitely a good investment. They are always in my truck this time of year
yup... they are in the pack for 3rd season now ha
probably but I've used them successfully for 11 years now.
I told @MtnElk I would not shoot a cow or raghorn on day 1 of my hunt if he filled that tag. And boy does that really go against my hunting style! That means it’s a big bull solo day one or MTNElk holding my bullets once he gets there in day two. I don’t like passing up opportunity on an e/s tag
MEGA BULL or nothing. I want to be hurting from carrying out 200+ lbs of meat my friend. We both have 140lbs of fresh elk in the freezer, let's go after some glory.
Said many, many a hunter before hunting a unit that maybe has no 'glory' bulls or precious few only to later play the woulda shoulda game. Kill a good representative for the area and be happy (and tired).
I second that remark! Maybe a new category for "Perseverance in hunting" is required!
oh totally, that was mostly a joke between Deacon and I. You see, at this point, chasing glory is basically a barely legal bull at this point since Deacon is normally a "brown and its down guy". Which is why I was SHOCKED when he told me to pass on the cows the first time.
Hahahaha glory is all relative, I don’t think you even take pictures of the bulls I would shoot. Much less the ones you actually shoot. Time will tell.
I should just pull mine down and offer it to anyone joining me before we start the hike…
