ALright im having trouble deciding what to do.
My Fiacnee and Myself want to go to idaho to hunt for Bear this spring. We would go the last 10 days in april. I am trying to figure the most econmical way to do this. Flying is a no go since I do not trust airlines after the last couple times... So that leaves driving I figure I can drive there and back for right around $900 the tags and licenses are about $800 so that just leaves food. I have a place to stay but that would only be $100 for the whole time so that is $1800 If I can keep it under $2000 we can do it. Im just not sure. I suppose I should go with my Gut and not go but who knows the next time we would be able to do this. Our jobs our both secure and we would each have a paid week off...
Just kind of thinking outloud thought it might be easier to make a decision if I saw it in words rather than rolling around in my head.

We do have some units with reduced tag fees for bears, that could be an option for you. Lots of snow still in the mountains around here, hopefully it comes off in the next couple weeks and we get some warm weather to green up the grass and get the bears out and about.

Nonresident Reduced Bear and Mountain Lion Tags
:
In the Lolo, Selway, or Middle Fork Zone units (Units 10,
12, 16A, 17, 19, 20, 20A, 26, and 27), and in that portion
of Unit 16 north of the Selway River, nonresidents may use
reduced bear or reduced mountain lion tags, available at
the discounted price of $31.75. Reduced bear and reduced
mountain lion tags are valid
only in these units. To hunt
bears and lions in any other unit, hunters must purchase a
regular bear or lion tag at the regular price.
