I have to agree with everybody. I jumped my pack from 25 to 35 pounds this weekend. Its almost game time. My ole lady says I'm nuts hiking hills with a 35lbs pack in 90 degree weather and 80% humidity. whatever it takes.
The comment on getting thrown out of the house is funny. I got banned at my office for using my elk calls when I was bored. I've gotten banned from calling in my house. So I've been calling on my back deck. The other night a neighbor came by because she was certain that a dog had gotten caught in a trap or something. I guess my elk calling sounds like a hurt dog, thats not very reassuring. So now I'm banned from calling off my deck. What am I going to do?
