You've good reason to be content where you're at..But you can do those hunts you went on for the cost of the tag and fuel, cutting out the fluff of a guide that lines you up with a dink muley that you could kill out of the window of a truck on nearly any country road..
Rosco1,
10/4 on all that!!!
As the song sez, I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now,
or
a fool and his money are soon parted.
And there's a little more to the story on both trips.
The Colorado trip was a bummer except for the scenery.
The Montana hunt was probably one the best experiences I've had other than seeing my three kids births.
Both were a learning experience, and education is usually costly in both time and money.
