Seems like it would be pretty silly for me to use a mule in my situation.
9 out of 10 hunts my 4 wheeler never leaves the back of the truck. I'm not going to load up a mule or a horse and drag it around in a tailor for 9 days just to use it for 45 minutes.
I get it as far as liking doing it that way but I don't think it makes sense to "hate" 4 wheelers. 4 wheelers are clearly more efficient in some if not most cases.
If some guy is messing up the hunting with his 4 wheeler.....well I hate that to but its not the 4 wheeler doing it.

For you yes it would be silly. For someone who has the know how not in the least. A lot of Big Game hunts that's the only way you can get there is by horseback with a pack mule but I wouldn't expect you to know about that. Oh and BTW no Cellphone service either so you would probably get lost. Might even have to camp out over night SCARY ...... just funnin with ya no offense!

You're the one that said it would be silly for you to use a mule in your situation ...I was just agreeing with you. My point was.. that too much dependence on so called modern technology could be not such a good thing. Ever followed a GPS off a cliff? You are absolutely right I know nothing about you other than what you post here. I draw my own conclusions from what I read you say. I stated my opinion that I prefer a mule in mountain country. Didn't say it was for everyone. Other than that I was just funnin with ya Really!

Hey they are an early warning system ... another set of eyes and ears.. let you know somethings there. Try that with a 4 wheeler. Most mules know the smells around where they live. With them it is more the Sight of a wolf or bear than the smell. Especially if your trying to get it to walk up on a dead one.

I said it wouldn't make sense for me to use a mule not that I didn't have the know how to use a mule or camp or survive without a cell phone...
Seems like you think everybody that don't do it your way is stupid and can't do anything.

We wouldn't be having this conversation if that is what you really said now would we?
