I'm going to southern WV on a DIY bear hunt this year. Luckily I found a guy that lives close that lived in the area for 35 years and is willing to help out.
I would like to hunt everything on your list and would like to add Sitka Blacktail. I think that would be a hard DIY adventure.
As far as saving, I've got two different plans. One, every mile I run, I give myself a dollar. It keeps me motivated to run and rewards myself.
The second plan is pretty simple, its a 52 week plan. Week one, $1. Week two, $2. Week three, $3..... So on until you save, $49, $50, $51, $52. The total saved is $1,300+
