yumabowhunter Report post Posted November 3, 2011 Well we are on the road for hopefully a great hunt. There are 4 of us going to backpack in and give em heck. Looks like the highs will be upper 40s to low 50s and lows in the 20s. I tried to go as light as possible but my pack still weighed in at 55 pounds. Nothing better than sitting behind the glasses watching the sun come up on beautiful country. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tjhunt2 Report post Posted November 3, 2011 Keep us posted and take lots of pictures. 55lbs, no way! Maybe 15 or 20 years ago. Good luck! TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coues&Bass Report post Posted November 3, 2011 Good luck cause the weather is going to S$%k at least for 2-3 days. Oh ya more rain on Monday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZMThunter Report post Posted November 3, 2011 55lbs for five days with hunting gear isn't bad... as long as you don't get over 30% of your body weight you should be fine. Sounds like a fun hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AntlerObsession Report post Posted November 3, 2011 I have never had more fun than backpacking just after, or during!, a good snowstorm. This last New Years was a pretty nice snowfall that I hiked through he middle of on the archery hunt. Glassed up some nice deer I probably wouldn't have seen had it not been for fresh snow. Makes it easier to measure deer activity as well. Where they are, when they are moving, where they are going... You guys should have a blast! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ScottAdams Report post Posted November 4, 2011 Wow that gives me the Itch!!!! We didn't pack in on our hunt this year and I missed it. What thrill it is to get into the remote back country and chase big bucks! I think I'll plan a little pack trip for the December hunt before this itch gets unbearable!!
