I understand where you are coming from Spyro,I've been in some very remote places where you could probaly shoot skyline and not worry about hitting nothing but trees or tundra.There is always that chane that there is something else there that you won't in tend to hit or kill,just to risky.

As for stalking the timer for elk,I known far to many guys who think in the mentality of "IT's Brown It's going Down",all I can do is make myself as visible as posbile.Thats all I can do,and hope that someone remembers their hunting saftey.
