My wife and I were planning on going to Alaska this summer but have put it off one year because of my knee issues, it might be alright but it might not and I did not want to risk it (plus I want to get the new house done this year and have that project behind us).

To each their own but I feel the same as you, I would much rather take that $20K spent on elk hunts and spend a month in Alaska (like you said, if I lived out there and could hunt for cheap money like Peter, I would undoubtedly be hunting elk, etc.). A number of years ago, my wife and I went to Hawaii for 3 weeks and it was heaven being away for that long. We visited every island and saw everything we could. That and our 2 week trip to Montana a couple years ago were our best vacations ever. I like seeing "stuff" more than hunting and fishing, I guess just a different phase in my life, and I enjoy doing this stuff with my wife, which would not happen if it was a hunting trip.

[QUOTE="Woodsloafer, post: 9345504, member: 7627"] My wife and I were planning on going to Alaska this summer but have put it off one year because of my knee issues, it might be alright but it might not and I did not want to risk it (plus I want to get the new house done this year and have that project behind us).
