I'd pick the hunt, then when it's paid for, I'd tell the little women, now I need a bow for the hunt and since the hunt is paid for, we don't want to loose the money dear LOL!!!!
 I heard of a guy that took his wife to Alaska for their honeymoon. She had no idea it was a bear hunt he had won at a raffle !!
 That's a tuff one, depending on the hunt or the bow I guess ?

Depends on the hunt choice for me, if I have the chance to float the Moose John for moose and bear, it would be  a no brainer.  Come to think of it, I would probably take a hunt over a bow.....

If you've already got a bow that works, that's an easy choice.  Take the hunt!  I love a new bow as much as anyone, but without a hunt to go on with it what pleasure could it bring?  Memories of special hunts will live with you the rest of your life.  A new bow will more likey just become one of many in a line and the special newness wears off quickly from most of them.

If you got a good bow alreay, take the hunt. Do something you have always wanted to do. Take the extra $$$ and buy a decent camera to record the event or a good set of glasses to help enjoy that hunt and the others after it. I have never ever regretted paying for a really good set of glasses. You can always get another bow on down the road. Just think if you nail a wallhanger on your trip!

I'd have to say the hunt. Just my opinion, but I've come to think custom bows are a little over rated, unless you're wealthy. A hunt for something you can't hunt in your home state is always a good choice.

That for me is not even a question. I would choose the hunt. I have owned lots of bows and will get more, but I have only been on a few guided or do it yourself out of state hunts. Shawn

She doesn't realize the disparity in prices between a new bow and hunt of the types these guys are talking I bet. I'd go with the hunt too if that's the case. lol
