RE: So you'll pay $2 Grand+.........
I'd never get bored hunting whitetails w/ a bow. NEVER.
I hunt two states regularlythat have dramatically different terrain, and I love it, and I've taken one trip to the midwest for deer and really enjoyed that as well, it was more of a DIY hunt but i saw good deer and different terrain as well.
I've also done a trip to WY for elk, mulies, and antelope, even managed to take a P&Y antelope, that was AMAZING, and I plan to do it again someday.
I guess I dont mind paying some money to have different experiences hunting, because I've seen first hand that even whitetail act dramatically different based on location.
My next trip will probably be a combo muzzleloader/archery hunt for caribou. I also have good connections for WY antelope and might take a quick trip out there soon. Someday I'd like to do another midwest archery whitetail hunt, I just enjoy every aspect of taking a hunting trip.
