Not sure I can agree. I bought a pair of Meindl Perfekt boots 7 years ago. I've worn them everyday, and they're still going strong. I'm only now considering having them resoled. I whined about the $250 price tag at the time, but it turned out to be much cheaper in the long run.Cheaper to buy new ones than get the soles reworked, so might as well try to preserve them....I'm so tight I buy the Cabela's brand Danners and if I can keep them from hitting the dirt I sleep better at night

I have a pair of really great Browning boots that I am on the 3rd set of soles. They are great, but they don't make any like them now. The big problem is finding a good shoe/boot repair shop. Not many around anymore.

Lol, it sure wouldn't hurt me to lose some weight, ha ha. I remember when I was a skinnyrascal. Thanks for the welcome. Been here before as fatrooster but my computer wouldn't allow me to log in anymore so I changed my log in. Still I had problems. Found out I am not very computer literate, lol. Finally figured out that the problem was me. fatrascal.

X 2 for sure. When I'm packing out a deer on my back and climbing up a mt I always think about those lucky dudes in New Zealand that just swing down with a net attached to a helicopter and just fly them to camp not to mention the hunter gets a ride too. There's a on going joke with my hunting partners about who has the scratch to rent the chopper for the hunt. Apparently non of us do cause I haven't seen one yet.I'd rather fly around in a helicopter & drop in close to get a good look at them than walk. That whole walking thing is WAY overrated

Use a chopper here, and the DOW will shoot you down.
Ok, they won't shoot you down, but it is illegal. Big ticket.

they'll let you scout though, I thought, if you ground it for a certain length before hunting.

Yes, you can't hunt the same day, or day after a flight.
I'm not sure if the DOW considers packing out meat as part of the hunt?

Or he has lots of friends he hunts with and packs out their game and never gets his own tags. Been there done that.
My bro in law has his license. I think you just gave me a good idea on scouting some new country......
I'm always the youngest of the group..even if I have tags I'm getting put to work packing out animals for the elderly folks. Out of our group of 6-8, 3 of us are under 60 and 1 of the 3 is a female who takes on the role of supervisor.
I've got a buddy in Utah with choppers and ultralights, 3 crash landings while on scouting trips from running out of fuel. Going up and scouting with him is an invitation I always decline.
