[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1044924, member: 13632"] Out of 6 guys I work with who spend time on foot in the mountains who seriously hunt horns and game 6 guys pack side arms as well as archery gear or rifles. Most guides I know pack, camp cook does for sure! It's much different hunting up there, my best friend moved to the end of Whitefish lake last summer so I'm getting there quite a little, looking forward to that hunting, hit the pike last weekend! Around here your less concerned with weight a buddy last year dumped a grizzly in the door of his sheep wagon, when they flew the area there were 13 bears per square mile in that area about half and half grizz and black bear, kinda tough area to make a living with sheep and cattle!! I live and hunt around Yellowstone, a good number of the bears from this side of the park will den up in the areas I hunt, my wife and sister inlaw cook for guides who hunt that area and all the tents show bear sign, both are very handy with a side arm and will put 6 center mass and reload faster than they could find and shoulder a rifle. We had a guy from up there come down and hunt with us, he's used to getting back in and finding elk up there, he struggle hunting with us because we were finding elk but not going after them because we'd only kill one then spend two days getting it out, he got had a much better understanding why we hunt different when we piled up more elk in an hour than he's seen in a year and got them out whole. It's much more practical for me to have my hands free, rifle stowed in back back and have a side arm, I'll pack the weight!! Though if I start hunting up there more we may be revisiting the idea :D [/QUOTE]
