Let me tell you boys about a little past-time I've been refining over the years. It's way better than anything you've ever tried I can assure you. It's called solohikingwithagun.
First you go spend a thousand $ on lightweight backpacking tents/tarps/sleeping bags/pads/backpacks/stoves/water filters/rain gear/puffy coats/puffy pants/merino undies/and a pillow (can't forget the pillow). You get some freeze dried food, drive to a trailhead already overflowing with subaru's and prius's (prii?), don't forget to play 80's music the entire way, you're going to need those catchy can't stop thinking about it chorus lines shortly, then start hiking. Hike all day. Then leave the trail and hike some more. Pitch you tent on the flattest slope you can find.
Then get up in the dark, hike to the top of thenearest a mountain in the distance and spend all day behind a spotting scope looking for deer. Bring Starbuck vias and lots of gorp. Eat enough bog berries to get slightly sick to your stomach.
Take a nap. Hike back to the tent in the dark.
Do that for 5 days. You should be singing a Phil Collins song for at least 3 of your waking hours per day in your head. By day five you might be whispering them to yourself.
The key to this crazy fun activity is to bring a gun, a tag, and an orange vest then hike WAY above and beyond any living deer. That way you don't actually have to worry about seeing any, planning any stalks, or heaven forbid actually packing any meat.
Other perks include seeing tons of bears and mountain goats.
And while other deer hunters might have actually found deer and might^2 have actually found a buck, I dare someone else to say they found a one-horned GPS collar Mt Goat.
