Wow Spyro.... We agree on something
Those monkeys are probably finishing up their typing of Shakespeare's works and I heard that they opened season on flying pigs.

Stinkbelly, SpyroAndes is right..........
More often than you'd like to admit.

You must WANT to backpack hunt for it is you and all of the elements that GOD can throw your way anytime he wants.
Actually, while backpack hunts exposes the lack of toughness quickly, other types of physically challenging hunts will do it as well.

I took a friend on a Moose hunt, he snapped around day 6 of an 11 day float in the middle of the Alaskan Interior. He wanted to use the Sat Phone to call the air charter to get picked up early. I am not sure if it was the solitude, the miserable weather, the work (I shot a big bull on Day 2), homesickness, the bears or a combination of everything that got to him. The only way I got him to finish the float was to let him use the Sat Phone so he could call his family every night for 10 minutes. He shot monster bull on day 10 of the float.

I still hunt with him but not on those types of hunts... not that he wants to go anyway...
