Me and two others brought alcohol on a spring brown bear hunt a few years back, and let me tell you, I' ll never do that again. We didn' t ride into camp until 5 a.m. on four-wheelers, some 25-30 miles from the nearest road. We had camp setup by around 7 a.m. and being so tired from riding all night (in the dark, through lots and lots wet, deep snow and overflowing creeks), I was exhausted. Instead of catching a few hours of zzzz' s I ended up with my cousin and good friend, drinking. I ended up waking up the FOLLOWING afternoon, day 2 on my 5-day bear hunt, hung-over and feeling like ****. I spent the next two days just basking in the hot sun, getting a tan, and trying to feel better. I ended up hunting for a few hours on the last day of the hunt. None of us got a bear. I' ll never bring alcohol in such large quanities again. Heck, I just bring my water purifier now. Keep the booze in town.
