Sure did, it was a quick trip with some family. Limiting time away from work after having a kid this year and taking 12 weeks off, plus a week off for an upcoming Montana deer hunt, plus wanting to take roughly every other Friday off from October-January. I don't worry about the cost of the license, and I put about 28,000 miles a year on the truck with all the driving for hunting. If I regularly drive 6 hours to hunt for a day (or an hour if the birds fly well) in MN, driving 9 hours for a weekend is a walk in the park, albeit certainly NOT efficient. But I do what I can and need to in order to maximize my days in the field. If I only hunted when I had the time to do an overnight somewhere, I'd be able to go less than half of the number of days I average per season. In short, pheasants are an extremely costly way to get meat.
