We sleep in army tents, we stand by the camp fire, I play guitar next to the fire, we cook our meals from scratch. We stink up the tent at night, laugh until it hurts. Even go to the restroom when it's 0 degree's outside and snowing, and loving every single minute of it. If we get something, great! We all share in what we got. If not, who cares? We had a blast! It's just a great experience, and no game farm or lease can compare..
Now that's hunting!! I have been on several of those types of trips years ago out in the California mountains and that was what came to mind reading this post. How good the beacon smelled cooking on the camp fire after the morning hunt...I can almost smell the the crisp clean air and the smell and warmth of a campfire when we got back half frozen. -geo
