How many states have you hunted?
« on: June 02, 2013, 05:03:00 PM »
One of the (many    :p ) items on my bucket list is to hunt all 50 states.  Have hunted 14 so far - some multiple times.  Hoping to add 2-3 more next year.

How many states have you hunted, and do you have a favorite!!

Indiana is challenging enough. Why should I spend my money and go somewhere else?

19 for me.  If bowfishing counts make it 20.  
Plus 5 Canadian Provinces.

It was fun just to go through the list in my head - lots of good memories, and I hope to add more.  Never thought about trying to do all 50, but heck, that sounds like fun.  I have a new goal!!

I haven't in as many counties as some here have states!!

13 states and 1 Province.

IN, MI, KY, MO, KS, WY, CO, AL, TX, AZ, OH, and Ontario.

I lived in four of these states so I hunted IN, KS, MO, and KY a lot.

A couple of these are a bit bogus: AZ-Pigeons, OH-Rabbits

I keep turning down standing invitations to hunt private farms in Iowa and Illinois but I can't leave my own backyard to go hunt in someone else's? Just doesn't make sense to me.

God willing I'll add Alberta to the list this fall.

Thanks, Joe, for reminding me of the memories.  I did not say that I was successful as far as harvesting game in each situation, but was definitely successful in enjoying a wonderful opportunity and good memories of each State!

I have had many people who know that I travel to hunt ask why.  My explanation is that while some folks like the sights and sounds of the cities - I am more partial to the rural and wild settings - and to the people who make these areas their home!
