several years ago, on one of the AZ gun forums, a group posted pictures from an open-carry backpack overnight thru hike they did. 6 or 8 guys with backpacks and AR-15's out enjoying nature... WOW that looked like fun! I've thought since then it would be fun to arrange such a thing again, perhaps with planned breaks for some field-expedient target sports, maybe call coyotes near dusk or dawn....
My problem is, whatever weekend you pick... I'm probly hunting or shooting that weekend!
