For me, the same reason you invite as many folks as you do to your home, Jeff.

I doubt I would drop two G's for a guided whitetail hunt, but I'm planning on dropping about a grand or a little over this next fall to go hunt bears in MN with Kyle. I've got bears here I could hunt for much less, but I'd rather spend the money and get a chance to meet/hunt with someone I've developed a friendship with over the boards. Hell, I don't care much if I actually stick a bear or not, it'll be a blast either way.
