[QUOTE="dirtytough, post: 1539070, member: 6597"] For 1 you don't need to bring a travel trailer. For another I do out of state hunts for less then $1k every year. Also it looks like the op is from Texas. Not sure where but he isn't that far from southern Colorado. Here is a quick estimate. Tags $700, 2400 miles/20 mpg*$3.00=$120 for fuel. (my f150 gets about 22mpg on a trip like that) Food you have to buy anyway. But lets add an extra $20 a day. That's $200 for 10 days. We are at $1020. Camping is free on NF and BLM. You have a $400 cushion for incidentals, a hotel room in the middle of the trip to shower, etc. If you really want to hunt the west and you are on a budget you can make it happen. PS I forgot about the processing cause I always do that part myself. Its probably cheaper to pay someone to do it time wise, but I know I'm getting my elk back that I took care of compared to who knows what. [/QUOTE]
