I would go elk hunting every weekend and take a week for white-tail. With all kidding aside, a week in the wilderness will show you what you are made of. Don't count out any DIY hunts............ I have always been the one to go see what else there is out there, and have never regretted anyadventure.

Look at it this way, when you do get settled down and have a kid, alot of things will change and your chances will be far less. Do it now while you have a chance........and hunt each day like it may be your last, just like the guy that I have elk hunted with for the last several years, he will spend this elk season pouring liquid into his stomach through a tube. Get out there and see what the heck the other part of the world does when archery opens!!!!! And never pass up a good opportunity...
