WV Bowhunter wrote:For us it was totally worth it. And I’d say we had more in the trip than most guys. It’s 800 miles each way for us. So our 3 trips was 4800 miles. We also had lodging, food, groceries, fuel, donuts (we ate quite a few of those so I added that to the list) we ended paying a guy to cut them up so we didn’t have issues getting rid of the bones.
I really don’t want to add up all the costsbut I probably could have went on an outfitted hunt in another state for what I had in this diy trip. Lots of ways I can cut costs next time out there but I’d still pay what I had in this one. I really enjoyed it and I’ll be back there in 3 or 4 years.
That is a great way to look at it. I know people who go on golfing trips and they never speak of what they spend and they don't come home with what you guys did.
Congrats on a great trip and great pair of bucks.

Holy smokes Dave, I didn't realize how near perfect that rack was from your field pics. That is why you won BEAST sticks. Great story, great effort, great rack/buck.
