Well, as luck would have it, my hunt for moose next month got canceled. I was supposed to go to Quebec the end of September. It was a sweet deal, totaling about $2,000 plus gas and license. Oh well. Life happens. So now I have time off and I am not sure if I can still salvage something.
My first thought was a DIY for elk in CO. Problem is, I don't even know when the season is, and I don't think I will be able to make the 25 hour ride out there (Quebec would have been 12). Plus, with so little time left, I don't think I could scout, prep, get all the camping stuff, etc.
Next, I thought to just stay put and get some action here at home. Issue with that is, it's only open in a small part of the state (PA) and it's only antlerless (not that I care about horns, they would be chew toys for my dogs, but if I'm going...).
The outfitter was also trying to accommodate me with some other things. One was a 1/2 price trip for elk to NM. But that 1/2 price is double what the moose would cost and that is a 30 hour ride or a plane trip (extra $$$).
The outfitter also offered me to go on the same trip in 2014 for half price, and I am cool with that, but with all the stuff in the news lately (Syria), I might be in some forsaken hole over there this time next year, so it makes me a bit nervous to plan that far out.
I am open to ideas and suggestions. In no way is it a big deal, but I don't want to let the time off go to waste.
Any input is much appreciated, even if it's an "I feel ya. same thing happened to me back in..."
Thanks all,
Be well,
Alex
