Alcohol consumption based on hunt success

[SecretSpot]

Alright so ive been sober for almost 2 months in preparation for archery elk here in MT. A buddy and I are trying to come up with a constructive way to allow drinking following a successful hunt. So far this is the point system we have come up with for various species we will be hunting during the next few months..
Elk - 15 drinks each (2 tags)
Deer - 6 drinks each (6 tags)
Antelope - 8 drinks each (3 tags)
Bear - 10 drinks
Turkey - 6 drinks
Grouse - bonus 1 drink to whatever hunt

Feel free to join in and make suggestions to the points system

So, say you fill ALL your tags - what do you do the next night?

What’s the timeframe for the drinks? If the evening of, would love to hear how the pack out goes the next day after an evening elk kill (assuming no pack string assisting).

Well is Australian car racing fans are any guide, you might want to limit yourself to 24 beers per day:

Stay thirsty my friends.

You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers in this racket...

I don’t really drink alone and came from alcohol abuse so I personally try not to use booze as a “reward”. However, I pack a single shooter on my goat and sheep hunts for after the kill. It mostly depends who I’m with. An old friend came up to moose hunt last year. We flew in a couple cases of PBR and a couple bottles of fire water. Killed both our bulls on the first day so the fire hose was open. It’s a good thing weather moved in, we were in no shape to be anywhere near an airplane for a couple days.

15 drinks?! I don't do that in a month, and I like my bourbon. Mountain hangovers suck worse than normal, just fyi.

Packout has to be done no doubt

Once meat is back to the truck/ camp we typically crack open a bottle and start trimming and bagging. We know where that’s going to lead and just plan on sleeping in the next morning haha. No need to count, you just had success and should enjoy it. We get after it pretty good..

A few years ago my buddy and I were texting back and forth about supplies for a two week moose hunt. Wheeler camp, so glamping was gonna happen. He texted, "how much beer ya think?" To which I replied, "I got 4 cases." Well, in my mind I thought this would read to him as, "I have the beer covered...." But he thought, "man, I better match that at least" - and brought 4 cases with him and one to leave at the truck in the event we had to come out for some reason. Welp, it was a September to remember weather wise, 70's everyday and blue sky for the first 8 days straight. In direct sun it felt like 80 degrees. Great for the beach, horrible for hunting moose. We would go out in the mornings and hunt, but by 10 am we were even getting warm, of course a moose was gonna be bedded so we would head back to camp and cut wood/other chores. "Its 5 o'clock somewhere" became the daily saying around 10:30am-ish. We would head out later afternoon and hunt, but be back to camp by dark - 9pm, start a fire in the wood stove, and tell stories by lantern light until a pile of 5 or 6 or more beers were piled in front of each of us. By day 7 a buddy was set to meet us out there and it was apparent our beer situation was not going to last 7 more days at that rate, so we told him to bring the truck case in with him and a few extra... He showed up with three cases. My buddy shot his first grizz that day and it was a nice one, so we ended up celebrating a little more into the night and made a serious dent in the supply. Another buddy came out to camp a few days after that and brought us 2 extra cases besides what he had on him. By the end of the 14 days all beer was gone. We had to hide this fact from all of our wives.

Back in college we had a bottle of hunting wine that was only to be opened after a successful elk hunt. Good thing wine gets better with age. I think one year we get sick of toting it around and just drank it.

Just my opinion:
elk I would go with a 12pk + 1 beer per point.
Deer 6pk + 1 beer per point
Speed goat 1 drink per inch of horn.
Bear 6pk plus a extra 6pk if you hear the death moan.
Turkey 1 beer per inch of beard

A few years ago i went to visit family and hunted their farm from a ground blind. My cousin shows up with a 24 case when we crawled in at 1pm. We finished it all off, got a big fat doe.

Beer Blind 2015 we called it. Probably not the best idea we ever had
