What would you do if you won the lottery? (hunting-wise)
 
No, you cannot buy a bottle with a genie in it so that you can wish for a million more winning lottery ticketsaffording youinfinite properties in which to hunt. And I'm not talking about yourstate lottery with a 2 mil pay out either. I'm talking powerball- $300 mil.

I think I'd obtainin this order: property in WI IL IA, different truck for every hunting day of the week, all goodies/accessories/equipment, then every bow ever made by every manufacturer that ever existed.

A hard day's work got me fantasizing about this but hey at least it's something that can actually happen not like the genie in a bottle deal.

So, are you ready to order?

I'd have a camp with a full doctor staff and chaplain service on location and envite familes of terminally ill hunters (adults and childern) and their familes down to hunt and share fellowship in the outdoors and with their families. 100% free of charge.

And I'd have one hell of a duck camp in NorCal :D

10,000 continuos(sp)acres in Georgia. Born, raised and will be buried here. I would also have about2000 acres in Iowa so I can hunt in the snow just because I want to.

I like Collies idea that is what I have always wanted to do since I saw a little kid on TV that wanted to go hunting and Make-a-Wish would'nt do it, what a crock. I would ad vets to the list.

well winning 300 mil would have a pay out of about half which come to 150 or then figure 30% for tax's you need up with 100 mil.

First i would spend alot of time finding at least a 1000 up to 3000 acres. maybe a old hunting ranch or some govt. land

Then i would build my compound a nice house with a fence with razor wire around it.
A bomb shelter because come on guys we know Russia and china want are A * * not to even think of the terrorist.

Then i would build a garage big enough to hold 10 car trucks boat or what ever i wanted. a building that would be for a pro shop\gun shop. because come on guys if i bought all the guns i wanted the FBI would knock on my door and shoot me dead. so thats what the gun store would be for.
I would build a indoor shooting range for both gun and bow.

I would pay some pro off of the outdoor channel to come tell me how to grow 200 class bucks. properly the management advantage crew.
I would build a 50 to 100 acres lake.
Build enough food plots to feed the deer in the entire state.
then if i had anything left i would build a few cabins for all my Buddy's on here to come tell me how nice my land is and ask if they could hunt it. Of coarse i would let you all hunt it.
Ohh then i would take a year off of everything no traveling no spending money just hunting eating and sleeping to get ride of the headace i would have after doing it all .
I could drop a 50 mil on my dream piece of land and not blink the other 50 would pay for me to hunt the rest of the world

Buy some land.

Donate a bunch to kid's/adults hunting/outdoors related charities.

Buy some needed equipment for our under-funded state wildlife/fisheries biologists and CPOs.

I would buy buffalo county outfitters and all the neighboring farms.For staffing I would offer my hunting buddies what they make now plus 40% so they couldn't say no. I would have a full female nursing staff on hand 24/7 between the ages of 21-30 in case someone cuts a finger. I would have a pool like Hugh Hef's grado for washing hands in and 15'000 sq ft cabin to stay in. Inside I would have a mini casino with a few slot machines and black jack tables ran by female dealers. I would have an indoor shooting range and skeet shoot. A bar for the story tellers and a trophy room for the hunters. Thats about it. I really have know clue what I would do with that much money. Maybe donate it all to charity.

I'm buying a 2 to 5 thousand acre tract in Iowa Illinois Kansas and then at least a 5 thousnd acre tract of land in Georgia just to see what kind of bucks I could grow there with the funds to manage my own land the way I want to. Then I would love to host hunts on all of these great tracts for friends family and some hunting charities such as make a wish. These pieces of land would also provide me with a full time job planting food plots, supplemental feeding and just keeping them all in top shape. It's nice to dream aint it.:)

Marylandbowhunter 08-19-2008 07:30 PM

Purchasea few hundred acres and build a 3000 - 4000 square foot house with a 500 yard rifle range and invest the heck out of the rest of it and travel the world hunting any whereI wanted to by spending part ofthe profits of my investments and reinvesting the restof the profits.

I'd have a hunting/fishing empire on the Eastern Shore in MD. Probably 3000+ acres.

GMMAT 08-19-2008 08:30 PM

RE: What would you do if you won the lottery? (hunting-wise)
 
OK...I'll try again.

I'd ask to own Illinois...and then I'd lease it out.

salukipv1 08-19-2008 09:45 PM

RE: What would you do if you won the lottery? (hunting-wise)
 
Certainly get about a 1000+ acres of prime whitetail land, wouldn't even have to be in big buck country, but soon enough it would be.....so besides playing deer expert.

I'd certainly take 1-3 big trips every year, in the fall, maybe another 1 in the spring...

Simple for me. First thing I would do would be buy some land of my own loaded with deer and turkeys. Then I would book an africa hunt. Then I would do 2-3 hunts a year for various animals like hogs, elk, antelope and bear.

Dang I wish I was rich...

I’d buy as much land as I could afford. I’d also travel the country hunting and fishing. Definitely to Africa as well. I’d go to New Zealand to hunt and fish, and Argentina to fish.

If this is the case I'm rooting for you to win!

If I won I'd buy a property in PA of several thousand acres and manage it. There would be nothing better to me than consistently taking quality bucks in my home state.

I'd also buy some property in IA and lease it out to a farmer to manage while I'm not there. I would also build out this property and manage it for bigbucks and a balanced herd.

Both properties would become grounds I would use to host charitiy events like Catch A Dream and other outdoor children's organizations.

I would also travel to Africa and across North America on hunting excursions.

First I'd split it into thirds.

1/3 Goes to AF H for EO19. great program.

1/3 goes toward developing a HNI charity

1/3 Goes to ME!!

I've got one neighbor that can't read a posted sign. I'd probably set him up for life with BBM's home grown "Turd of the Month" delivery. I'd have to pay a premium to UPS, but it would be worth it.

I'd buy the 500+/- acres around my house, then branch out from there. Try to buy all ground that adjoins mine, etc. Build a big lake, r/c car track for a few buddies, etc. Then do whatever I want from then on. Probably burn some tires once in awhile just to piss the neighbors off, much like I do now.;)

I would start my own DIY hunting show.
