The rubies is where I went, I would go back but I'd fly and rent a car.

This is my hunt in a nutshell

i got burnt in the draw in Colorado trying to play the point game, so that year I got a left over tag in Nevada, I live in Missouri. this was a bow hunt

1. Drive was 2 long, 2, 12 hour days
2. Stuff was not right at home
3. It's pretty boring if u don't find deer
4. U don't have to go 8 miles to find deer and bivy, u can truck camp, the best deer I found where 1/2 mile from road.
5. The wilderness is big and quiet

my advice would make sure home life is squared away, get tough mentally, and have decent gear

what part of MO are you from?

Kebler,

Yeah, I'd have to agree that having things right at home is huge. I went on a hunt one year during some family issues, and it was very trying mentally.

It's hard enough to spend that much time alone as it is, but to add family stress on top of it makes it pretty rough.

I find that it's not so much "getting tough" mentally, as it is just learned to appreciate and enjoy the solitude. I don't mind talking to myself. I can fart when I'm eating and no one gets offended. I don't have to worry about dissenting votes for the next day's plan. Don't get me wrong, I like having buddies along at times. However, I've really come to appreciate hunts by myself.

There are such things as backcounty hunters who are offended by Farts while eating??

Note to self: screen any potential hunting partner by asking if they are offended by farts while eating.
