Have you ever...

Started a 1 mile hike with a 1,200 ft elevation gain through rhododendron all the way up only to make it 1/4 of the way and decide no deer is worth that effort? Happened to me this weekend.

Been there......got within sight of the top and still came down.....insane mountain hunting

Mountain hunting is very hard to me too.

I just didn't feel like putting in the effort to get a deer out of there if I did happen to kill one. It wouldn't be the first animal that I quartered and packed out but I just wasn't interested in putting in that effort this weekend. I'm guessing the spot I was looking at on the map is phenomenal though. Maybe next year :D.

I've made it that far up and then had to take a dump and come back down.
