Lick Creek
« on: October 19, 2010, 06:42:29 PM »
Well, I'm off to Lick Creek this Saturday for my bull hunt.  I am staying at the Wenatchee Guard Station cabin if anyone is in the area stop by and say hi.  I got to thinking of how much time/preparation/costs have gone into this special hunt.  It has cost me, if anyone doubts how much us hunters bring to the community take a look at this:

5000 miles driven
$875 gas
$400 hotel
$4000 misc truck repairs, some needed but mostly don't want my truck breaking down in the blues
$1000 new rifle
$500 ammo/reloading supplies
$1000 new hunting gear
$1500 mount assuming I take a trophy and it's not a given
$400 cabin rental
Two weeks vacation burn
85 hours driving
$300 food

I am sure these numbers will go up a bit by the time my hunt is over and I know I'm missing some.

Wish me luck.

No problem on that, should have plenty of room.  Let me know.  Funny, I claimed a corner of our dining room two weeks ago and started a pile of gear so as to not to miss anything at the last minute.  Wife hates me now but hey, I have priorities!
