And what if I DID have 5k to go hunting..?

If you had 5000 dollars laying around what would you go hunt? A good question for sure, and it can be seen posed on every hunting forum that exists. We like to dream! Heck, I can dream pretty big but sometimes you have to wonder if it's worth getting all spun up over. Still...those dang aoudad in the rugged southwest Texas land where everything has thorns, spines, teeth, claws and sometimes a little poison to back it up, have beckoned me for years.

Keeping that in mind, I read an article where a woman bus driver was given 190 THOUSAND dollars (yes with a K) by folks donating on the internet for her to have a vacation!! I couldn't believe it. Should I become an internet beggar? Is it really begging if you just come right out, say what it's for, and ask for it? I mean, that's how I'd do it..

So where's my dang 5k?

Wellcrap. Yes, that's one word, and it's a real word just because I put it in my blog. If the evil corporation I work for can make up words so can I. Anyway, I digress. The 'wellcrap' factor is reality setting in. I have a business to get off the ground-one that is soon to be my full time gig! I know where I can put 5k and turn it into MUCH more, and the best thing about it is I will direct where it goes and how it gets spent according to my reality. Such as it is.

Oh, and as to the begging-that's not in my nature. And yet, somewhere there's an aoudad ram out there just waiting for me..
