Paleo(And still I wonder, why not Neo) —
Absolutely, if you have a day an hour a minute of season left, stay out there. This year it took me seven weeks to kill a cow elk, when my long-term average is three weeks and usually a bull. I just kept telling myself “Old man, you have a far better chance of getting a shot op when you’re out here in the woods, no matter that game seems nonexistant, than you do sitting in the house.” Tenacity is the name of the game.
Seriously on the problems of keeping the human stench down while camped away from warm water sources, check out the “towels” now available from most of the anti-stink chemical pervayors like Dead Downwind. Some are big enough to cut in half and use twice, and they work. It’s the only chemical anti-stink product I believe in (save of course for scentless detergents and soaps). Those darned whitetails are just the toughest, most beautiful game animals in the world. If they made it easy on us, why bother? 😀
