RE: Why are hunts so damn expensive???
DIY hunts are grate , here what I feel about that . I think it would be grate to do one but My draw backs are.
To drive from east coast I guess at $500-$1000 gas
Food and lodging week $500 if split with some one else
License draw depending on what state or over the counter
Hunting on public land - I would like to have scouted before hand
But it would take atleast 2 weeks of hunting or get lucky to have taken a good animal
It can be done with work or luck.
I am looking into a few hunts this year , as soon as Taxes come back (working Man) Mexico for $7000 mule deer and Coues 10 days , also I have spoke by pm and email to a few outfitters on her on Mule deer hunts.
