It’s been almost a year since I wrote my last story and I have received comments from a few subscribers asking when I was going to write another one. My current plan is to only write one after a new hunt. However, at my age I’m just not hunting very often. I spend most of my time reminiscing about all of my old hunts especially when I get to talk to someone who has just returned from a hunt. I love hearing the details and always wonder if I could handle another tough hunt. I always believe I can but could I really. When I think back to some of the bad ones with long hard packs, I know more than likely I couldn’t do it. I still do fine with a 40-to-50-pound load, which is what I call a day pack, but every year even that seems to be more difficult.
