I think Boggy probably hit the nail on the head in an earlier post. I'd rather make one quality hunting trip a year than make many mediocre ones. Thinking about it, my major hunting goals are (in rough order of importance):
1. Trophy Columbia Blacktail
2. Trophy Oregon Elk
3. Alaskan Brown Bear
4. Cape Buffalo
Even though the blacktail is #1, I am elk hunting this year and minimizing blacktails because dad said he'd go elk hunting with me this year, and I really like the group of guys I've hooked up with for elk hunting. I no longer have the urge to shoot a lot of animals. I just want take a few good ones.
When I get to Oregon where I can hunt the hunting is in my blood, I'm sure I'll spend more time hunting.
