Living in Texas,I think it's cheaper and less work for me to hunt in-state than out of state these days.I hunted those high mountains of West Wyoming when I was younger and it was quite a workout for this flatland country boy.That kind of hunting was quite an experience.I did enjoy it,but dang,you guys work for it,especially if your hunting public lands.I think if you can get a private lands hunt,it would be worth it.

As Bob Hagel would say"You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong."Good words of wisdom...............
