charlie brown,

Nothing wrong with being a "weekend warrior". Nothing at all as long as that is what is on the agenda of everyone who is participating.

HOWEVER, as you've noticed, trying to find a suitable hunting partner (especially from the weekend warrior ranks) that can "play a full 4 quarters of ball" when undertaking a 2 week/away from home/remote big game hunt can be a frustrating exercise.

Like yourself, been there, done that........
