Yeah, I agree...the fun part is all the planning and applying for licenses. Well within 2 weeks I leave for Colorado for my 9th elk trip. This has been an annual tradition which now has expanded to other states.

October 2008 - South Dakota for a week of Whitetail Hunting
Remainder of 2008 - PA & NY Hunting Whitetails with a bow, muzzleloader and rifle

2009 - I should be able to draw the Kaibab Mule Deer tag in Arizona. In addition, I will apply for New Mexico, Wyoming, Arizona and Colorado (building points) for elk
**** I would say that Wyoming and Arizona that my odds of drawing are slim. If I had my option, it would be going to Arizona for the Mule Deer hunt, back to New Mexico for elk and the remainder around here.

2010 - Hard to predict, but I would like to do an archery moose hunt, so I will be starting some homework during the winter this year
