Depending on what I am hunting, I take the full season and the day before and the day after. We are now in our regular deer and elk down to 7 days to actually hunt. So that calls for 9 days out setting up , hunting and packing for home.

My longest out was for 22 days. Tags were filled in the middle of this so went to town to drop off the game, and went back up for small game, grouse, yotes and just enjoy being in the mountains.

I usually have people in and out of camp, but on my solo hunts, there are usually other camps around. They know I am on my own, so people will stop in and check that every thing is kewl. Actually, I think I have more good friends up there then I do at home.
