Between the QAD and Ripcord definitely go QAD.

Here is the break down for successful applicants by points and how many carried over to this year. There will be over 660 people with 24 or more points going into the draw this year

From what I can see that data is from 2016 or so

What year is your data from catfiahkev? The data is shown isn’t matching up to the game and fish data

Stud!

Accountability is key. Don’t be afraid to have conversations with associates and coach them. If it continues documentation and get HR involved.

Looks like 22 points for turkey now

I forgot to list it but there is a package of wet wipes and my first aid kit is athletic tape and a mix of excedrin and alieve

I guess I’ll throw a flask in each of our packs

It’s gonna be a rough 5 miles for sure. I’ve done some overnight trips and have been piecing gear together the last 2 years. This will be my first multi day trip and I know I am overthinking everything

Will be planning on an extra gallon of water each (that will make it 4.75 gallons each for 4 days). Will definitely have a nalgene and some WA hydrate/recover and energy/focus. Gonna look into adding a pound of almonds/cashews and cook up 4 strips of bacon for each morning, that should get me another 400-500 calories a day. Once setup I don’t plan on a whole lot of hiking unless we are on a stalk. Hence the spotting scope so we don’t have to make a move on any buck that looks decent. Where we are going to be has enough country for us to stay put the 4 days without having to hike more than a few hundreds yards to glass The hike we have is very little flats with 2000’ of elevation gain. Planning on a 3+ hour hike so we don’t wear ourselves out

Thanks for the advice. We might haul an extra gallon in before and each carry 100 oz in on the hike I’ve been told to weigh everything since “ounces leads to pounds”. It is interesting to see where the weight comes from. The spotter is probably gonna stay so we can field judge accurately. Don’t want to put all this effort in and shoot a buck smaller than what we have set as our goal.

I am finally going to do my first back pack hunt here in a few weeks. I am working on my last minute details and wanted some input/insight from any veteran backpackers. My hunting partner and I will be hiking in Thursday afternoon and coming out Monday afternoon. The hike is around 5.5-6 miles one way. We will be going in the weekend before the hunt to haul 5 gallons of water so we won’t be needing a filtration system. He will be carrying the gun since I am carrying the game bags, cooking equipment, sidearm, rangefinder and spotting scope. I have pictures showing my gear list with weights, also my food list with calories and protein. My total pack without any water is 35 lb 10 oz. I will be adding a 70 oz bladder into my pack so my total with that will be right at 40 lb. If anybody has any suggestions on what I need to add or what I can cut I am all ears. Also any meal suggestions that you have used that have been successful.
