Today we advance. I have forgotten that we are hunting, and that through luck and skill we may well kill a Mountain Caribou. We pack-up, prepare for weather and distance and various other contingencies like the need for light and fire, and move out. Toward what and why is seemingly inconsequential. We are doing what is in front of us. We have rifles and scopes and packs and kit enough to hunt and so, it would seem, we are hunting. At some point yesterday or last night I let go of all the contextual and circumstantial stuff.
