I have wanted one for years. Every year I get the bug. I usually start looking for one, find a good deal, and back out. I figure the $ a good used trailer would cost verses how long I could stay in a motel. I end up backing out every year. I have the bug right now. I have also found a good deal on a trailer but it is going to cost a tank of gas just to go look at it. What do I do?

I need you guys help on this. Is a trailer worth it? I know it is more convenient. It would be great for some of the out-of-the-way places I want to hunt. Places that are a long drive to a town with a motel. But . . . There’s the cost. There’s the upkeep. There is the extra gas to tow the beast. I could go on two awesome guided elk hunts for what one costs.

Most years, I will hunt for over 3 weeks a year out of town. I figured it out once that I could stay in a motel all the nights I hunt for almost 10 years for what a good used Travel Trailer would cost. $45/night, 20 nights a year or $900/year, time 10 years is $9000.00. You add to that all the extra gas it is going to cost and it even gets more ugly.

I am planning to hunt more in my home state. There are a bunch of WMAs in Oklahoma that I want to hunt. All of these have campgrounds. None of these are located close to a town especially a town with a decent motel. So what do I do? You guys that own one or have owned one, PLEASE RESPOND.[/align]
