I'd love to go to Wyoming, it would be a totally different world for me.  I think the hogs down south might just be possible with $1000.

From MA a DIY elk isn't possible for a grand unless you've got someone in the state your hunting covering local transportation.On the other hand Paul you can hunt 7 states all within a 2 hour drive of your  house for less than a grand.You could hunt deer from Sept. thru January with more tags than you would want to fill. Turkeys and bears also included in the license fees.

Just took the bowhunter safety course a couple of weeks ago so I could hunt out of state.  Hoping to go to NY in the fall.  Southern hogs in January would sure help with cabin fever.

I would spend at least a two weeks in GA.  I could fly my father down from MI to meet me with that much in my pocket.
This year I am spending that grand to hunt Elk in Colorado.  I needed to buy a lot of gear so the next hunt will be much cheaper.  Of course I "needed" a new bow too.

Wadayamean "if"? Memories are a lot more valuable than "stuff". Get those priorities in line and scratch up the wompum. Get out there and feed the soul, rocking chair days are just around the corner.

2008 hunts: Feb Texas hogs/javies w/Littefeather; April/May turkeys at home, w/ Mr Vic, w/Littlebigman (Jim G); Oct/Nov whitetails home and a big antler lease in central IA again w/Littlebigman; back to TX at the end of Dec. Each of these hunts is in the $1k +/- and I hope to add more. Rob's plan to drink coffee with Vance sounds mighty good to me. My IRA is going to be mostly in the memory bank.

I'd pick any of the following
Bear hunt (not sure how far $1000 would get me)
Hogs
Maybe a DIY mule deer hunt out west.

But this already takes into consideration my already planned elk hunt

I'd give 800.00 to my wife, and than I'd sneak up to the cabin for a week or two. Maybe she wouldn't mind me being gone than.

I'd want to hunt turkeys, deer and what ever with my friends Tom (Bentpole), Joe Skipp and Reiner. We could cover NJ NY PA and CT. Maybe even DE too.

I'd take my wife and I to Chopper's. Four hogs, three nights, $500 each.

Of course, If I had a thousand dollars, my wife would want to go the other direction to St Orres in Gualala. No hunting there though...

" If you had $1000 to go on a hunt what would you do? "

With non-res tag prices going through the roof and gas prices, its tougher and tougher to do less than $1000 hunts.

I'm going to drive to Colorado in September. Thats 2500 miles and I'll use 110 gallons of gas or so ( $350 or $375 ) and my tag was $ 525 I think. Thats right at $900 and I'm backpacking in for a hunt.

I'd reccommend everyone doing elk - they're unlike any other animal to hunt because of where they live.
