    I'm sure we will likely get some knob head who wants to stop anyone doing this, but would be happy to see them ambling down the main street!
    I think most of us know that solo hunting gives little to no chance if bumping into anyone and its killing me that i have to stay off public land for a few weeks but we have to follow the rules and do whats best. If for no other reason than it will give the anti gun nuts more ammunition to pile on the hate if its in the press.

    Just do the right thing and stay at home going insane or take up another hobby. Im going to break out the paintbrush

    Like everyone else here, I'm pretty pissed off that my roar trips are off and I've never been a fan of being told what to do. Like most I consider myself capable and self-reliant in the hills and see little if any chance of bumping into someone else or requiring SAR assistance. The temptation to sneak away is strong BUT as part of the bigger picture I am going to adhere to the rules and not go anywhere. We could all take the stance of Goosebayhunter and designate ourselves to be the exception to the rule, but then nothing changes and the lockdown is pointless. Imagine if all other parts of the community took that stance as well.

    It's a shit and I'm grumpy about it, but I'm staying home.
