    Re: Pack Raft Hunting

    Rafts have there advantages but unfortunately also a sour side.

    Don't leave your Raft alone if there are Bears around, especially younger Black Bears. Those F&%$#rs love to rip anything plastic. Talk to any experienced Guide or Trapper they know.

    If you put Meat into a Raft, even if you take it all out and wash the Raft real good with Cold Water, the residue smell of Meat and Blood is almost impossible to get rid off. If you leave this Raft for any any amount of time alone no Bear be it a Black or Grizzly can resist tearing your Raft apart.

    Great Adventure if you can hop onto another conveyance to get you out, but can turn into a real Desaster if you dependent on the Raft.
    Been there done that.

    Cheers

    Great advice Downtown.

    For anyone toying with the idea of a packraft trip, there is a ton of info in this Beyond The Kill podcast with Thor Tingey, CEO of Alpacka Raft.
