I would buy a big chunk of land and hunt it all the time. Then I'd get a guide liscense and start an outfitting service, I wouldn't have to work, unless you count running the outfitting service as work, and I would hunt and fish and do everything outdoors all year long. AND I'D STILL BE RICH!!!

I would really appreciate that, as it would keep the iowegians from coming north to the great state of Minnesota.
Why do all the trees in southern Minnesota lean south?
Because Iowa sucks


The next obvious question is why do I live in Iowa then? School. The hunting is just a great added bonus!


As to the question of how much I would hunt:

I would hunt every day that I possibly could. I would hunt every deer season possible, max out on tags, give the extra meat to the HUSH, hunt every other animal every possible season and build a really sweet wooden lodge in the middle of a large chunk of land in northern MN with a lake no one else has access to.

This is compared to the 10 or so days a year I get to hunt now.

Sure, I'd hunt much more and it would be on my own 3000 acre farm in Alberta.It's nice to dream.

I don't think it would change for me..
I do too many rough back country hunts in 3 months to carry on
for longer in a course of a year.....
By Christmas I'm ready for a vacation......

Now excuse me a bit but I have to do this..................

If you won the lottery, say $120 million...........

would youthink more or less?
I honestly think that if I won $120 million or so, I would probably end up hunting less often, but obviously I would buy a big hunk of land and make the times that I do hunt much more to my exact liking. I just think that I would also want to pursue other interest, that I currently do not have the funds for, such as buying, collecting and riding motorcycles. Of course my wife would want to travel quite a bit, so I think less often for me.

Oh Great, another high fence operation
ok.. I would let you guys hunt there.. The fence is to keep 'people' away from me. I would love to drive across a state with NO TRAFFIC, NO NASTY PEOPLE, FRESH AIR, OPEN SPACES ( no more housing developements ).. Picked Iowa because the nice deer are already there for me..

I'd probably turn into the next "Uncle Ted" except without the high fence hunts. If your poor, your crazy. If your rich, your eccentric.

I dont think I would stop hunting/scouting for deer. With a 120 mil I wuoldnt have to work, which means I could build my nice log cabin in the middle of nowhere in Big Buck Heaven and just play in the woods all day long!
