Y'know...you're right. Though I'm hav'n a virtual hunting disaster this summer. I had to cancel brady due to cost (my oldest will be beginning her 2nd year of College and I have to kick in a bit more than predicted, so, just another trip to Wild Hill in VT for me on September 6).
Also, my brother in law and I have been planning a brown bear/moose hunt in Alaska for 10 years (going when we turn 50 next year). Found an outfitter that charges $6,500 for 10 days in a tented camp. Put in for 15 days off and my boss balked as did my wife. Problem is, I live on the east coast and if something should happen...... Also, daughter #2 will be starting College as well....so...something more tame will have to do. I think I'll book into a September black bear hunt in northern Maine.
Family first.
