RE: When is enough?
The '08 season will be my 4th where I parted ways with 5k to hunt whitetails in Alberta. Yes, that's aTON of money, I don't care who you are!
The thing is this. If you want to hunt world class deer, and you don't have access to the type of land that holds these deer (I don't), you're going to have to spend money.It's the sad truth.
The area I choseto persuemy "buck of a lifetime" is the Edmonton Bow Zone. It's 1600sq miles of next to "no pressure" bowhunting.I'm litterally living a dream I had for a long time. Being single helps.As a non-resident, by law, I musthave aguide up there. That takes some serious cash. Also, the area that makes up the Bow Zone is almost all huge private farm/ranches, and you won't hunt them without a guide. The upside is, your tag is guaranteed, no draw up there.Just thought I'd explain my reckless misuse of funds.
