    I found if you get drunk before them, they won’t bother you at all.

    You would be grumpy aswell if you had to deal with idiots all the time.

    Don't forget this old maxim: Some old guys don't "forget" while others may "remember" things that have not happened, it is always good to "think" for yourself!

    Where would you young guys be if some old fart had not taught you anything. Loosen up and enjoy the hunt.

    is this a bit of introspection?
    1) plan to take extras so at least one makes it along
    2) ear plugs don't help tinnitus nor the voices, deal with it and just don't pick an argument
    3) beer / wine is fine but liquors quicker
    Glad to say I have hunted Northern BC

    Simon Fraser had pretty good judgement on what he found in BC

    Enjoy every minute of it. Sure there will be disagreements and shit will get forgotten at home but who cares? That's part of it. Your time with your older hunting buddies, friends or family will not last. I miss my dad and wish he could be here to hunt with me and my kids. Life is short make the most of it with the people you are lucky enough to have in your life. Good luck.
