I appreciate the feedback. Since I don't know what I am doing I didn't know if I was thinking something that was completely unattainable.

This I think best sums up what I was thinking in my head. I have zero...
Hi Wyomuleskinner,
I will PM you today. I am always looking to learn from those who have the experience. I am in the baby stages of learning horseback hunting. I will certainly take all the help I can get.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the kind words of support! I think beginners luck probably had alot ot do with the entire trip. I may be a bit OCD when it comes to anything I take and interest in. I spent untold hours researching everything I could on gear and strategy for this kind of hunting. I fell...
I have to apologize to everyone for the delay in response. I got really busy flying falcons on a refinery job out of state. But now that I am back home I will keep up with this thread and have more questions. I greatly appreciate everyone sharing info with me so far!

Hi,
I have quite a few questions on horseback hunting and I figured I would ask to experienced horseback hunters here to help me figure some things out. This is my first Post on Rokslide, but I have read most of the stock threads on here. Since this is my first post I will give a little...
