I'd like a law passed to keep assholes with guns OUT of my countries wilderness...   Especially jerkasses who hunt, but don't eat what they kill...

$1200 for six days of beavers in the bush with a little folkin' on the side? Hell yeah!

Most likely, if I had it. My grandpa used to make a living doing this sort of thing ... running a hunting camp. He took a bunch of the family bear-spotting once, but it wasn't the season yet. It's neat spending time in the wilds. :)

Per week, average cost to hunt black bear is US$1200... all found except booze. White-tailed deer about the same. Moose is BIG bucks, but there are only 100 licenses for non-residents. Upland game birds about US$800. BUT, since most of the world is into "preservation" and since I am starting to lean that way (LEAN... not converted yet), I am wondering if hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling tours of the bush, combined with campfires and singsongs and the like might be the way to go. Here's the question - I know most of you are folkies and you're going to spend your time folking, but, of all the people you know, here's the question... would you/they spend US$1200 for six days and nights touring the backwoods of New Brunswick, Canada? Being shown as many and more moose and bear and partridge and beavers and etc as my buddies show the "sports" that pay the big bucks?
