[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 271869, member: 412"] Single-trophy luck, is just that, luck. Can happen to anyone who even unwittingly puts themselves into the right place at the right time. Neither are cheap, and certainly not if you're going to obtain multiple trophies. You have to spend time "where they are" and that usually means lots of travel. Regarding fish trophies: Even if you live on a premier body of water full-time, you're going to likely put 100's if not thousands of miles on a boat getting 2-5MPG or an ATV/SxS/Snowmobile not getting much better for every one trophy fish. Really catch the "bug" and it means traveling to Winnipeg, Eire, LOW, Tobin, The Columbia, etc, etc, etc. with all your gear in tow or paying someone for their gear/services when you get there. Expensive, time-consuming, but, doable annually assuming you have the $$ and time. Regarding let's say mammal trophies: You still have to hunt where they are. Even someone hunting "local" puts on hundreds if not thousands of miles and hours setting/checking trail cams, stands, etc for every 1 trophy animal. Then start to factor in tag availability and land access within the premiere destinations for each species and IMO, trophy mammals are exponentially more difficult. There are species and places where no amount of $$ gets you around the number of points it requires to draw a tag, and at 45, even if I had the $$, I already probably don't have the time to draw before I'm physically unable to complete some hunts. Mammal trophies, much more difficult IMO. [/QUOTE]
