Everybody's right so far. You gotta go, man! Do whatever it takes, but get on that plane and get into those hills!
Actually, I can't count the number of times I've been hunting with friends and wished I were alone for all their racket. Besides, there's always moments in a group hunt where you want to hunt a certain draw or a certain canyon and you're overruled by your buddies.
GO, MAN, GO!
