After scouring the leftover reduced price tags over, looking at my finances, and considering my long term game on where I might want hunt a buck in future years, on public lands,-even if I got in or near an area in the hopes of learning it, I just can't justify going for what's left.
Just too many land access issues and potential migration timing challenges for me to commit the resources to the remaining tags in WY G&F's 'bargain bin'
I called a dozen different property owners inquiring about trespass fees, and only 1 called back, with a $600/day/gun option for does; though that did include lodging. Still too rich for my blood. lol. Granted, all those folks are probably getting alot of calls from guys frantic to work a 'plan b' ahead of the leftover draw.
I need to do something selfish and fun though; maybe will come out to camp and fish during the elk rut?
Or, just apply what I save on not going to my 35 Whelen build? Maybe go for a nicer scope?
Ah, the taste of bittersweet wine...
