I just got back from a rifle hunt in Wyoming. I realized that I don't like to walk out at night...
If I have a trail and the weather is nice, I don't have an issue.
But the weather was bad two nights (rain one night, cold snow another night). And I had to bushwack those nights. I was hunting alone and already sorta cold/hypothermic due to glassing until the end of shooting light. I made it back to camp. But I didn't like it. It seemed that one good fall or something could turn the evening into something much more serious.
I kept hearing @Cliff Gray telling me that I needed to stay out to be in the 5% that kill 95% of the elk. But...
Do folks adjust their plans based on terrain or weather?
