If I still lived in BC I'd go with you. :D
Yugo.....I have been forced to go on solo sheep and goat hunts, heck all kinds of hunts on my own over the years. I got real tired of having guys back out all the time or not being able to find anyone to go, so I just started doing it on my own.
Takes a bit more planning and you need to have your family on tap with dates and locations, etc. but it is doable. I actually like it. Lots of time to think and I don't have to spend a lot of time caping out everyone elses heads because they can't or refuse to learn how. :wink: |

Yugo.........no I didn't find them to be a big deal. As long as you have the right equipment and pack right. Climb up, do some glassing, set up a spike camp and then go from there. Pack a few things so you could stay out if you had to. Heck these days you can take a sat. phone and a GPS. No problem for people to find you if you did get in a wreck. You just need to take things slow and you do not take chances at all.....just use your head and stay safe. It is not a big deal.
BC................too damn many people now for my tastes and the price of land is ridiculous. Still go out to visit family, but I usually return depressed with all of the development, beetle kill and well....................it just isn't like it was when I was a young fella. I'd have to move up to the Atlin country to be happy and even then there would be too many damn tourists in the summer. :wink: |

| it sure is geting crazy around here but what do you do hey, I guess a guy just has to make the best of it. Never been to Atlin, Good Hope is as far hunting as Ive been beautiful country up there, Like you said just got to be smart about hunting on your own. |
