To get in the herd and look them over - then leave if you don't find the right one - to me is awesome. I only wish you didn't have to travel so far to hunt them. I'd be happy just hunting them exclusively if I could do it more. Jeff

You could definitely get some quality "unwind" time in Budapest and across the border in Vienna. (My answer would be totally different if the question was "If you had only one hunt left in your lifetime, what would it be?") I'm becoming more tolerant of intolerant people.

But walking the northern MN woods on a cool October day with a mist in the air, orange, yellow, and brown leaves falling to the ground. And a big fat grouse busting through the popples setting your heart into your throat is not something I could ever give up. Not ever. Camp is where you make it.

I'll be able to afford to hunt squirrels when I'm living on Social Security. I'll be able to pack them out as long as I can still hobble about. They taste good! And it will ease my transition to the next life because a hardwood ridge on an autumn day is the closest thing to heaven I know!!!
