That's the upside Dave. When I get my buck early in the season I simply clean and case my Ruger and take out a favorite Parker and leisurely stroll the covers for pa'tridge. Whether I get any pa'tridge or not is inconsequential.... at least I'm doin' it again.
Oh, and another benefit is rising at a gentlemanly hour (well after sunrise) while hunting companions fought the frigid darkness (and probably forgot to brush the snow from the seat in the privy) blindly trying to find their deer stands in the puckerbrush.
