btw.. Many times as i'm sneaking along looking for muley's or elk. I see a bear that doesn't see me. I could have shot it if I had a tag. So, still hunting for bear will work.
for me the hunt starts in my head.
from the second you decide to look at an area and check it out before,during and after a hunt. the excitement is in the planning.when you find the prime location and climb a tree its no different then when you decide to stalk a ridge or glass a flield and stand in a spot silently looking for game. i think the answers to your questioning are cause you hunt in Colarado. you couldnt march through the areas i hunt bear in. i know guys who get bored quick and just have to keep moving. i call them the fidgety type guys.there all hepped up on coffee and need a cigarette every 15 minutes. not saying its your case.stand hunting isint just morning and late afternoon hunting all the time. some hunters dont have the patience or appreciatte the all day sit on the stand that was a well thought out plan weeks in the making. there is no one style of hunting and we should support each others methods.
