    Also, a scabbard is a must. Rifle slung over your back is a no go if there’s any chance of having to ride horse under a tree. The horse doesn’t stop just because you’re hung up in a tree haha.
    The other must is the horse MUST be bombproof.
    I think it would be well worth a go down south.
    I would have thought returning to quad as similar to returning to horse if having to leave it to hunt on foot.
    Barry the hunter and blip like this.
