Fly in would be nice....but, the costs incurred for one trip would keep me going for the whole season ...(just about) ;)

i won't even say how much i spent on hunting, buying hounds, a tracking system, rifle, etc just from last year..i'll just say it makes the $1500 look like change :)

I'm more a basic hunter....compass, no GPS....my guns, last main purchase 18-20 years ago (outside of buying a rifle for my son)....old truck with old camper parked at side of house used for hunting and fishing ....got my first piece of camo (a jacket) last year...will finally have to buy new boots this year (after 5-6 years), but they will be cheap ones.....

I have hunted and shot since I was 8....taught by my Dad and a trapper uncle...I will be turning 47 this summer....never have spent more that $750.00 on a main hunting trip (10-14 days)....cinsider yourself lucky Danny, and rich, to be able to spend that kind of money a year on a hobby!
