Me and my dad have been tent camping every year at the mouth of the Mississippi(Passe a l'outre) since I was 12(now 33). I just like the adventure. When we go to Venice we bring only rice and onions and eat ducks and fish everyday. We plan on bringing some meat to cook up there though...
When I was 12 or 13 years old I went on my first elk hunt with a bow. And we "roughed" it in tents in Montana. It was beautiful. We were on a guided horse back hunt but it was on public land. I stuck the biggest bull I have ever seen to date dead in the shoulder blade and never found him. I was prob only drawing 40 lbs back then. With bows out now a days and if I could have drawn back more weight, that would have been a dead elk.
