This is the WHY........

8 times?

Used your rifle for a trekking pole instead of all the free sticks, and branches laying about?

Sounds illogical.

Hunting coues deer country (more mountainous unit) a week ago I do think that's some very fall-prone terrain. Just so much loose rocks to slip out from under you.

That’s been my main hunting world for 45 years I fall but not very often, same for my pals. Most all of us are multi discipline fun hogs. Climbers, skiers, snowboarders, cyclists, mountain bikers, etc… Well practiced in many forms of getting around

Nobody has to move over rough ground, it is not required to be hard core, but when people who can't do something and therefore don't understand it, start looking down and giving pathetically ignorant advice about fitness and trekking poles to those who have the skill, it is amusing.

I have put myself in some dumb ass situations over the years but somehow pulled it off without damage. I try to learn from those near misses and don’t do it again. It’s been awhile so mby I’ve finally learned a thing or two about saving my hide

Hunters, just like the 2a community are some of the worse when it comes to our own culture.

I feel like folks saying you shouldn't fallen so much should go back ij the same area, cover the same amount of ground and go for the 15 days and see when they start making little mistakes, or realize not all terrain is the same.

Nice buck. Did a hunt most folks dont even dream about, let alone can even do.
