RE: money issues
It can depend on alot of things such as your expectations of the hunt, etc. There is something to be said for both Do it yourself hunts and outfitter hunts which will cost more. I've been doing the "Do it yourself"hunts as many on here do and it can be surprisingly affordable. For example, most years when I go to Colorado if I'm sharing gas costs from Minnesota we can do the trip for around $1000 per person. Meeting someone out there this year so I'm flying as gas is too expensive. Still probably cost around $1200 or so when all is said and done.
