Just like this upcoming weekend. I'm going on my first elk hunt, solo, about 2.5 miles in and about 2000ft in elevation gain. I would love to shoot an elk, but the terrain might persuade me to put my rifle down and pick up my camera. Probably won't want to pack out an elk alone that deep. Especially for a first hunt.
Even if I see elk I would be ecstatic.
Time will tell.

This is what hunting is about right here. To me, hunting is defined by appreciating nature; the little things that one only notices after sitting out in a tree, listening, observing...for hours on end.
