This is a little weird, but I love packing out meat. Cow or bull it does' nt matter. You push your body harder than you ever thought possible. You climb the hills, and sweat buckets. Then when you reach camp and unload the quarter you turn around and go to do it again. You have an empty pack board, and you feel like you could fly up the hill. Then you do it all over again. If its your own critter, you spend the next day sleeping in, and hopefully get to do it again for a buddy. Packing meat thats what seperates the wimps from the warriors. Secondly comes the feeling you get when you did everything right, and were successful. Maybe you let him go or counted coup on a smaller bull. What matters is you had the chance, you done good. Fresh air, fried food, knowing you don' t have to watch what you eat for a week, because you will still lose 10lbs. Eat that pound of bacon, and 3 eggs, and pancakes it feels sooo good. After a couple days of elk hunting, I feel like I could wrestle a bear, or tie a cougars tail in knots. Then you get home and smell your BO and reality checks back in.

You got that right. My dogs don' t even want to play with me after almost two weeks in camp.[:o]:D

Combo of all the above. I agree getting out in nature is one of the best parts in hunting. Also the days events relived around the campfire are worth every second. But nobody can deny the satisfaction of harvesting and being able to reap the benefits in meat, pictures and mounts.

On a personal level I like to chase trophy' s it is what lights my fire sort to speak, but the time spent in the creation and with a good group of fellas is what keeps me coming back for more. They all sort of go hand in hand to me with hunting!

I' ve grew upa meat hunter and have always enjoyed hunting camp more than anything else I can think of..........almost. I have in the past few years become more interested in getting a couple nice trophies for the den but it' s not a priority.

RE: What are your priorities?
 

Have a safe hunt.

Have a good time with family, friends, and nature.

Get the meat home clean and unspoiled.

Get home safe.

Good luck on all your hunts!

If I just want meat, by the end of a slow hunting season the cattle on the farm look real nervous.:D
