If You Had $1000.....

[Steve H.]

Like Biggie I also have $2,000.  I think I'll go on TWO hunting trips however!  (Wished they only cost $1,000 each!)

[J. Adams]

I am blessed that my wife and 3 sons all enjoy archery, hunting and exploring nature with me, so I would use the money to take us on a road trip to see new places here in the Rockies and to chase a few rabbits and grouse along the way.

Curt,

For me it is about the time off from work, and the cost for me to travel anywhere to hunt.I only get to go off island once per year so I make it worth my while and try to get at least two hunts in during that time. This year I did Solana ranch and Brush Country. It costs me at least $1600 in airfare to get to Texas and another $1000 to rent a car plus what ever the hunts cost, this year was a total of $1800 for the hunts plus $330 for my lic. Total cost $4730. So I have to save all year for my trip, the buying of bows is secondary, but yeah, I have plenty of bows and if I could just stop buying I could afford another hunt while I am home. I think I am pretty much done now on the buying thing as I have the bows that fit me. But it is all good.

I'd definitely head out of state somewhere maybe go visit Ray at Hog Heaven Twice!! Skippy

For me the bow is not the objective, the hunt is.   The bow is just a tool that I use to meet my objective, just like my truck.  I'd rather spend the money on a hunt, or several tags, then buying bows.  If I had a bow I shot well with and met my needs that step is checked off in my mind and I move on to other needs. But that's just my nature.

$1,000.00...? A new longbow (Bear Montana), 2 dozen arrows, broadheads and a self guided wild boar hunt down south.

[Mike Spaulding]

I'd head out to Montana on a antelope hunt.  I've always wanted to do this and after some research figured I could for about $1500 or so for a couple weeks if I rough it.. I like the bows I have right now so i'm just shooting/hunting with what I have.. but we'll see how long that lasts. :-)

I would be chasing elk in a heartbeat. No question.

[FEIK77]

I would either go on an elk hunt or black bear hunt with my dad. I'm very satisfied with my TallTines so I'm not really looking for a new bow.

in my humble opinion.. most people say they'd spend the $$$ on a hunt w/ family and friends and i agree that is the way to best spend any $$$$. BUT..

human nature being what it is and seeing how many bows people buy/sell/trade on this (and other sites, me included) i'd say the reality is most people buy the bow..
