If its your dream for 40 years?? Then by all means go for it! You have the added luxury that your son lives out there. But for sure....awesome!

I was simply stating my view and its not my dream and there are a lot of little odds and ends that end up costing a lot. If that's OK then good.

Ive been out there, and its beautiful. But shooting game at those prices is not worth it for me...if it is to you....then do it and STFU. Like I said...my buddy has spent 20K on 4 elk hunts where he got nothing. He views it as worth it and Im not questioning him......but it is a fact that he spent a lot of money. All I said.

You get one trip around this life....only you can decide what's worth it and whats not. My next trip will be Alaska.....Im just not into hunting and fishing as I used to be....but it will be great to see, and I can afford it quicker by not having to spend the thousands on game tags, transport and outfitters. I pay for these trips cash...as a standard rule, and don't want to take on debt for them.

Many are OK with charging them on a card and paying later....or taking on home equity debt......that's fine but its not me.
