For a point of reference for the forum what was the cost for this trip if you don't mind sharing?

The hunt it's self cost $4950. That includes meals, lodging and license. My airfare round trip was $820. Then we had 2 nights in hotel, one on either end of the trip. That ran a little over $100 a night. I paid one night and buddy paid the other. There we're some misc travel expenses (food, snacks, extra check bag fee etc.) and a few items I bought when we stopped at store on the way to the lodge. I tipped my guide 10% of the hunt cost plus food was so good, I tipped the cook $100. All in all I think I had a little over $6500 in it, not counting the clothing and gear I bought. One thing to look for when booking a hunt like this is to make sure there are no extra charges for the size deer you kill. This outfitters hunt cost is the same wether you kill a 150" deer or a 200" deer. No hidden fees.

Thanks for the info. I do the Dave Ramsey envelope system. I am trying to figure out how to sell an envelope that needs $150 a week...
This is a great read. Im definitely going to do that at some point.

For comparison, the cost hasn't changed much in the last 20 years. Maybe an extra $1000. Not bad. Still I've got $15-20k invested in a booner whitetail. Worth every penny. Just don't tell the wife.
I just added a new deck and a new Audi.......I'm due for a trip to Canada!
