I'm lucky to have family strewn all about but I got a little jealous through the years. When my cousin in Dakota sends me a picture after his pheasant hunt holding a pile of plump birds. Caption reads "You should come on out." My Uncle sends photos of trout caught in the mountain streams of Colorado. "I threw yours back in."
Cousin Gene is always fishing near Cuba fighting some trophy fish. His son runs a small fleet. "C'mon down."
I'll never make it anyhere until I retire but in the back of my head I've always wanted to take a year and hobo my way across the U.S. taking advantage of the invites from family and friends and hitting the hunting and fishing seasons for each area as I go. Chances are slim to none realistically but I hold on to the thought none the less.
Before I croak I'd like to hit the Grayling and Dolly Varden runs in Alaska. That might be do-able.
So do you have the "big trip" in the back of your mind? Have you been waiting to hunt Dall sheep in Alaska, or land a sailfish? Maybe take a Caribou or fight a Marlin?
