When it comes to higher dollar adventure hunt, it's either in you or it's not. The answer to that question will lead you to either justify or dismiss the cost and time it takes to do that type of hunt.
Only certain animals and the environment they live in trip my trigger. Brown bear, A-Y moose, elk, big tom cougars are where it's at for me. I care not one bit about caribou, musk ox, black bear, African trips etc. I kinda regret not doing a dall sheep when they were $20,000 but was doing moose and bear. At $50,000 , they hold no interest for me.
We all justify the cost of things we deem as wanted or necessary. Very few " need" a $100,000 truck, a camper, a boat etc. We all have vices, some are just more expensive than others.
