    "Accepting the Challenge of Western Hunting," By Rokslide Member Justin Smith

    That was definitely a bold move Felix1776. I admit, I have talked about making that move more than a time or two. In the end, I feel my roots just run too deep where I am at. I envy the fact that you took that leap. That takes courage! Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks Billy, I agree totally. My intent with this article was to inspire someone to pursue that primitive desire to face the unknown. With the positive feedback I've received from writing it, I have found myself inspired to do more. Funny how that works.

    I'm going ELK hunting!

    Both mental strength and physical strength are important. A mountain hunt can be lonely, but be confident and stay the course. Learn from your mistakes, and you'll return a better hunter than before. It looks like you have a good handle on the gear. Now you just have to go for it!!! Good luck.

    How much Vacation time do you get?

    Fire Sprinkler Contractor, 15 days plus 7 paid holidays. I use about 75% of mine for hunting and fishing trips. The other 25% is family vacations, where we go hunting or fishing, lol.
