i am lucky in this aspect
when we loose a hunter in or party it is a great loss to the hole group
we all hunt in much the same way. we hunt hard usually on foot and we may venture up to 5 miles into the back country in a day
if someone does not make it back for the night we worry very little knowing that we all could survive for a day or two in the back country(most of us have) when we drop an elk we have horses to pack or we all gang up and get it out on our backs
it is a great camp and i wouldnot trade it for anything in the world

this year was the last year for one of the hunters in camp (he is moving to CO and i can tell you we already miss him in camp
