[QUOTE="porkchop401, post: 808745, member: 29195"] [b]Re: Long term planning...guided hunt?[/b] Man let's snap back to reality ! there is no garentee we will be hunting in 10 years or even alive for that matter . I am making my 4th DIY elk hunting trip this year ! here is how it breaks down Gas both ways for 1200 miles is $500 round trip. Over the counter Bull elk tag is $579 Groceries for my self for 9-10 days $125 Eats on the road $75 Grand total $1279 If you have clothes for Minn. you have clothes for ColoradoI have found that though specialized equipment is nice it is not an absolute must . I sleep in a $59 tent with a $10 dollar tarp stretched accross it . A cot is nice but a piece of egg rack foam will do just fine . Eating out of a can is economical and storage is easy. The 308 with a 180 load will do for elk . We ( I) typically camp where we park the truck and walk from there. My point is you do not have to spend a mint to have a great hunt. I take great pride in doing it all my self. I can tell you that you will not regret taking this adventure upon your self . As for days off " buck fever " is a legitimate sickness. I have had to get a little creative to make these trips work in the past . I once cut fire wood one summer to make a trip. My point is with a little planning there is very little that canot be over came. If you are seriously considering this message me with any issues that I may offer a solution . [/QUOTE]
