Thread: Hunting with Trekking Poles

Yep, Sticks. Could not do an over night fly or tent trip without using sticks.
shorter trips and in bush I often only take 1 stick as I carry my rifle in my hand or on a shoulder sling, I often use the rifle as a second stick if negotiating large steps up or down hill. (Empty chamber).
If walk in is a more open track or longer I will put my rifle on the back or side of my pack and use 2 sticks. This makes it harder to put the pack down as the rifle butt hangs down below the pack and the muzzle sticks up above your head when you bend over to duck under stuff.
Has also cost me an animal as well once. 11am Dog indicated a pair of deer in a river and by the time I got the rifle unclipped and loaded they had crossed the river and were disappearing into the bush. (Got then the next morning in the same place
