[QUOTE="Hduke86, post: 5300724, member: 18913"] Here in Tennessee it’s really not that much at all. Now it’s a double edge sword for out of town hunts cause over the last 10-15 years this is how I “scout” for new locations to hunt. I’m blessed that my wife will literally go ANYWHERE outdoors with me. Take this last summer for an example at a VERY short notice I talked to my wife about going to Alaska and she literally jumped on the computer and within hours sent me a text with dates booked for flights, rental car, airbnbs, destinations and places to explore. This would be a “scouting” trip for me but also a awesome getaway with my wife cause she likes to be “lost” in the wilderness with me if I’m fishing, camping, or hiking. I plan on doing a caribou hunt hopefully this coming up year so I have a feel already for the lay of the land and environment. We do the same thing for our west in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and the Dakotas. We have a vacation which is my “scouting” and then I got back to hunt either that year or the next. So just as an example the “quick” 8-10 day Alaska “scouting” trip costed about $6500-$7000 all in but the memories and experiences are worth it and when I’m 90 yrs old I want to be sitting on the front porch in a rocking chair with my wife next to me talking about our younger day adventures. Our boys do go with us 95% of the time but and they are 11 and 13 but sometimes I just want to get away with just my bride. [/QUOTE]
