I grew up in northern arizona hunting mainly deer, elk, and turkey. My old man taught me how to wear out the old boot leather. Many times I thought he was trying to test me on these long hikes in the woods. See if I could hack it or something. I know now that's just they way he hunted. It was funny, he would draw a map in the dirt and then say something like this, " you follow this canyon unitl you reach the rock outcropping at such and such point, I'll meet you there around noon". I remember thinking, uh, okay Dad, whatever you say. Back in those days with no GPS, that was old school. Only got lost a couple of times. Shoot three times in the air if you're lost!
