I'll say? How do you not weigh 300+?

Well that makes sense, have to replace all the calories you burn. Where do you keep the food?

My money is on Curtis. Hmm. Well considering your age old man.

Dang, that's a big load to haul across the country! I'm taking a 40 lbs pack of camping gear ad food and a weapon.

That it will. As an inexperienced elk hunter with no opportunity to scout, I figure going nomadic is my best chance. That way I can cover enough ground over a weeks time to maybe find some elk rather than walking back as forth to a fixed base or spike camp. If I run into other hunters or outfitters, I'll just move along.

My other strategy, and I may regret this, is to hunt some of the steepest terrain around, in the hopes of running into less pressure. We'll see what happens.

Over the last year and a half, I slowly retooled most of hunting gear into ultralight backpacking gear. Gear upgrades aside, the whole trip is going to cost me about $850, which is a bargain compared to what most people spend. If it takes me a couple of years to figure it out, I will have spent about what a typical hunter spends on one hunt through a outfitter.

Sounds like a lot of fun poser. Should make for a great adventure, animal or not

It's lots of fun...until you get one of those big sob's on the ground. Then it's straight up work for a couple of days.
