RE: Why are hunts so damn expensive???
I've only done "Do it yourself" thus far but wouldn't mind trying an outfitted or semi guided hunt. Or even a drop camp for that matter but you are right about that Shatodavis, it's a matter of finding a good outfitter and there are so many options out there. I did have a good bow hunt last year on a draw area in Colorado. Never saw another hunter in the woods for 10 days and only a few on the backroads. Took a young bull and then a huge one came in after the shot. Within the next few years I really want to make the effort to save for an outfitter hunt. Just to see how I like that...
