Who plans to hunt "out of state" this year and what will you spend?

And the dates will be PMed to me when you know, correct? :d


NY/Al...no planning neccessary...I can put you into some deer action here in KY if you are looking for somewhere to drive to. How good just depends on what farms I will have access to this fall.

 

not gonna hunt outta state again unless my instate tag is filled! all i can think about is the deer that i woulda seen in "my spot" when i wasnt there!!!

 

So far I have planned:
Leasing land in Illinois again.
Whitetails in Ontario. Though I own my business and live there 7 months, I'm still considered a NR.
Whitetails in Saskatchewan again.
I'm still hoping to plan an elk hunt somewhere for this fall.
Next year I am planning on adding in a moose and/or caribou hunt as well.

 

I will bow hunt Illinois, Missouri and Indiana this upcoming season. Indiana will be on my families land back home, Illinois is my home state, and I will hunt private land in Missouri that we have leased.

 

As of right now, I have no plans to leave the state of IL to go hunting this year. I should hopefully draw a turkey tag which will give me something to do this spring, and I'll have three spots to deer hunt in three different counties this fall. If I really get bit by the bug in September, I can always pick up a tag and hit WI with Mike, but as of right now I'm not planning on it.

 

I should draw in Iowa this year. Hope so, if I do, I will hunting with Mike and J over Thanksgiving. I'd love to go back to Tims every late season too and hunt that cold late season, that was a blast! But I dont want to wear out my welcome either.

Rybo, my place is yours if you wanna hunt elk again bro! Heck you know this ground so well out here, you dont even need me around anymore.

 

I hunted IN Oklahoma this last season and ended up spending $600 for lease, $12o in medical bills, $20 for a new used tire, about $250 in gas, $85 for new strings, and $20 on a new phone (cheap go phone). I know this is not considered part of the hunting cost but this year if it could go wrong going hunting, it did and it cost me. So much for my first lease, I will be back on good ole Texas public land again next year.

Btw...we hit a deer on the way up to the lease on our second trip and done major damage to dads truck but that was his expense not mine!!!

 

Illinois on a handshake.

 

I might go to Illinois. If I do it will be a muzzleloader hunt rather than a bow. It will be on private land that my dad's been leasing for 10+ years, right across the river from my house. In the 2010-2011 season, I plan on getting a Kentucky archery tag, and hunting DIY on public land down there with the bow. Then in the summer of '11 I'll be chasing pronghorn with the bow with my a couple buddies, that's what I'm most excited about

 

Putting in for the Kentucky elk lottery. So, if I'm (really) lucky...I'll be going to KY.

 

My wifes family is from north dakota and i plan on getting up there for the 'early' season this year. we've been married 10 years now and i haven't been able to get there yet..but this year i WILL be there. It will be a do it yourself hunt on private land so it will be very cost effective...i'm looking forward to it... I will be hunting in the Jamestown, Medina area in the middle of the state...anyone had any experiece in that area???

 

I'd like to find myself in Colorado standing over an nice bull OR cow elk this September, but I'm needing to get a couple guys to ride out there before I can make that a reality. Too much money to drive out AND back all by myself.

 

I'll hunt whitetail in Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas if I draw.

I'll hunt either Mule Deer/Antelope or Elk in Wyoming depending on if I draw tags.

I've never really been on a guided hunt that was worth a hoot... I'd rather them just tell me where to go and leave me alone.

 

I'll hunt PA, and there is a small chance I may make it out to Ohio as well.

 

As of right now it looks like Me and one of my buddies will be doing late season in Ohio. I might hit Ohio earlier in the year with Quicksilver, 130woodman, and maybe Duke. All depends on the funds...

I might have to take you up on that in 2010 though! :d
