So "how much do you have in your string" was a question a few weeks ago......if you ask me now.....the sum keeps growing!<P>I never knew all the costs invovled, but I'm learning quick!<P>I hope it will all pay out in the end! <BR>DS

Slayer,<BR>Well it won't!!! You would be better off hiring a guide each year to go hunting but if its a hobby, like most hobbys, its worth the costs, if its your business, you have my prayers.<P>------------------<BR>Ray Atkinson<BR>atkinsonhunting.com<BR>208-326-4120

Not a business, Ray,....definitely for the love of the sport!<BR>.......my primary reason for buying horses was to access better hunting ground and packing game animals out. But am also finding that my whole family, a wife and three teenagers, all love trail riding, so it looks as though those ponies will be working year round! <BR>DS

Slayer, I started about 1968 with one horse and a 1/2 T Ford w/ Stock rack. Then bought a 2 horse trailer. Then bought a 3/4 ton dodge. The bought more horses, then a bigger trailer.<P>Now have a Dodge Diesel, 20 ft Gooseneck, 3 mules and a horse, 22 ft flat bed to haul hay for them and enough tack and camp gear to outfit an army. It never stops.
If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
