Just curious if anyone has used telemark skis for hunting in the back country and how well do they work. Any tips on gear would be great. Also, is it challenging going up hill?

I tried it once. The idea was to get to some high wind swept open ridges where I expected monster bucks to be.
The skis worked great, as the snow was 3-4' deep in most places. Didn't cut a single track all day, but found a lot of grouse.
Coming back down in the dark was a bit more exciting than I planned on. Multiple wipeouts, followed by wallowing in the snow looking for my skis. Be sure to tether.
Check out some history of the Finnish ski troops. Packin' serious gear and taking it to the krauts. I saw a documentary of the krauts counterattacking the Nazis outside of Moscow on skis.
