If you post a list of needed items, folks might be able to get them kitted out better. I don’t have a lot of money, but I usually have extra gear lying around.
I was blessed with two Wyoming elk tags, so I just put in regular with fairly long-odds for deer and pronghorn. Also applied for two pronghorn doe tags. Would have liked to apply for whitetail doe again, just not enough time this year.
The future hunt I am most excited about is always the next hunt. I don’t have any concrete plans on what I will draw next year or the year after, I just look at the calendar and apply for what fits the schedule.
That said, I finally drew the bull elk tag I have wanted in Wyoming since I first...
If you have 2 weeks, I would do a trip west. You can always go again when the kids are older to do the stuff they're not up for yet.
If you only have 1 week, I would do something closer. A lap around Lake Michigan is fun, stopping places like Door County Wisconsin, Pictured Rocks in the U.P...
