Crazy how eastern guys can always get massive groups of dudes to commit to an adventure 27 1/2 hours away and I live in smack dab in the west and my buddies are lame lol

Poop seat off Amazon.. the best thing

I heard that. My first couple elk hunts here in NM, I thought for sure my deer hunting wannabe elk hunter buddies would want to go and be part of the experience. Well they never have and I embraced the solo hunts from the start. Since then, there's just something about doing it all myself from field to table that trips my trigger that I never really expected when I first started.

Take everything needed for great sleep. Ear plugs, melatonin, thick pad, comfy cot, big sleeping bag. Decent sleep is great on a long hunt. With that many ppl set up a good shitter everyone will use. Premade meals are great also. Vacuum seal and freeze them. Then simmer the bags in a pot of water to heat up. Have a plan to deal with the amount of trash that many ppl will make over the course of a hunt. Bring mouse traps.
