If I had known three weeks ago, thinks might have been different, as I would have had time to prepare. A major change like this, 72 hours before you get on the plane, is just asking for trouble.

That’s the breaks. We learn from our mistakes, and my mistake was trusting someone else. Maybe I’ll be able to save enough to go again in another seven to ten years. I got a 12 year old now, (old enough to hunt in WI) and he wants to go with me all the time. I think that’s great, but it doubles the costs and may very well put any hunting, other than local, out of reach until he has a job of his own.

Thanks for all the support guys, but I decided NOT to go.

1. Auto Rental and all the extra stuff I would need added up to about $1,500 (Money I simply don’t have).

2. I don’t have any idea where to hunt other than in the Kellogg area.

3. If I actually did get something, it would be impossible for one (1) man to get it out.

4. There are just too many unknowns, and going it alone in a totally unknown, un-scouted wilderness violates one of the basic hunting safety rules (plan you hunt, hunt your plan).
