Things you never hear on a backcountry hunt...

[BuckSnort]

I think I slept too much

 

[TooFarEast]

My wife wants to meet me at the trailhead tomorrow so she can switch out my laundry

 

[BroodBuster]

"I'm sorry I slipped that pint of whiskey in your pack when you weren't looking."

How did I gain weight on a back pack hunt?
Wonder if I got any text messages? (never mind some on here can't leave their phones at home?!)
Gee whats thats latest thing to happen on rokslide?

 

[Umpqua Hunter]

I brought way too much toilet paper.....again.

You smell lovely! (to your hunting buddy)

Did you put out the Maid Service sign?

Ah, I see you have the XT1000 anti-gravity transportation system.

Oh...can I carry your pack too? And how about yours?

Whew I was worried, my camera is not in my pack...I thought I forgot and brought it with me.

Have you ever noticed how much easier a fire is to get started in the rain and wind?

I'd like to return this steak to the chef and have it cooked medium rare rather than medium.

I'm glad we finally found a basin without elk, all that bugling was getting awfully annoying.

Feeling pretty confident today...I think I'll just pack in just one arrow.

I sure miss being at work.

My feet feel amazing.

Wish I would have brought my bull barrel rifle instead.

I'm sure glad we had to pack all of our water in for this hunt.

I wish I could trade in this sheep tag for a chipmunk tag...there are chipmunks everywhere!

I sure hope there are several camps in my honey hole.

I love tripe, I think I'll pack it out with the small intestines.

I think I'm gonna take up shuffleboard instead.

Sure love my $50 Bushnell binos.

Let's life-size cape that cow elk.

Congratulations on shooting that 7/8ths curl ram.

Why is this tent so big?

Pass the ketchup.

I'm glad I brought this romance novel to pass the time when we're weathered in.

Wish I wore blue jeans.

 

[garrenj]

I sure hope it keeps raining

 

[bigeasygator]

I'm not tired at all!

 

[swat8888]

I barely even notice the pain of these two nickel sized blisters on my heels.

 

[Ross]

Darn, those antlers are too big to take home. Better shoot something that will fit in my house.

 

[Becca]

This wind, rain and fog really add to the experience, don't you think?

I really wish I had bought a smaller pack.

Good thing the bag that came with my pad/sleeping bag/tent is so roomy, it makes stuffing them away a snap!

 

[potsie]

So glad i dont have to shower for 10 days

 

[potsie]

Wish i would have packed in my full size 3D elk target

 

[thru-hunter]

Toss me another beer

 

[broncoformudv]

Glad I didn't buy that bear tag, packing one out would be too much work.

 

[thru-hunter]

Dude, we definitely shouldn't shoot that stupid caribou this far from the strip...

Which is in stark contrast to the "dude, I can't believe we shot this stupid caribou that far from the strip" that is common in backpacking hunts.... Especially when caribou was not the target species!!

What's even worse is that after shooting said caribou and hauling it all the way back to the strip you are certain to be greeted by a herd of much larger bulls milling about when you get there.

 

[swat8888]

Glad I carried around this quart size container of scent killer

 

[MTbowhunter36]

Good thing all this smoke from the forest fires is thick enough so we don't have to glass for elk.

Does my camo match?

Why is the wind always in our face?

Wow, we have this place all to ourselves.

 

[craitchky]

I am glad the bulls quit bugling, now I can get some sleep tonight.

Hey you notice how much better the tent smelled once I started changing my underwear?
