for $5K, you could go a DYI hunt in like 3 states. No brainer, elk hunt (or two)

Rifles are similar to boats and young women...there's no end to how much money you can pour into them without making them any more useful.

at this point, elk hunt
I'm good on guns at the moment
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I have a rifle and have never been on an elk hunt(not likely to ever be able to afford one)....so it would be a super easy choice for me.
ELK HUNT!!!

ELK HUNT!!! If you have 5 days vacation, You can afford an elk hunt. It’s as expensive or as cheap as you want to make it.

Hunt without a doubt. Like someone once said on here, don’t buy things, buy experiences.

Someone take him hunting. He is going to look at the 300 day extended weather forecast and cancel!

Someday, you'll be too old and fat to go elk hunting. You'll never be to old to buy another rifle.

Easy choice Buzz... you already got a safe (or two) full of guns. Get out there and bag an elk while your health is still up to the adventure!

Elk hunt for sure.
*BTW, it’s easy to drop $5k on a rifle and good glass.

Flip a coin. It's going to take you forever to figure out which rifle to get or where to hunt. But....if you do kill an elk, you probably won't be able to trade it off..

Buzz if you want a good Elk hunt check out Bobby Hill's ranch in south central Colorado. Hunt of a lifetime.
