Home state of IN, then tag along with The Hunting Public for those tough Easterns in MI/AL, then KY, IA, and maybe TN! Greg and I talked about Merriams in SD, so that's a possibility.

Tentatively planning on stretching out some next year. Wanted to start in florida. Then do an oklahoma/kansas/Nebraska maybe Wyoming run depending on how time and tags allow.. come home for md and nj, hopefully draw a de tag.. I'll already have those licenses.  Then once those seasons are out here head north... maybe vermont/new hampshire/Maine?  Been talking of the dream season for a while now... time to start making it a reality and start working towards 49.  Garunteed to bite off more than I can chew, but wouldn't have it any other way

I'm jealous of your location since I'm trying to do the state slam. I went to NJ and had success 2yrs ago. Then drove down to Maryland and got completely screwed by an outfitter on what was suppose to be a Maryland and Deleware hunt so gotta go back at some point. Plus, I had to watch that stupid video and take that test to acquire the Delaware license.

It certainly has its advantages with being in such close proximity to several other states.   Which outfitter? The public tags for delaware I suspect will become more difficult to draw due to a new thing this year.. they're going to separate lotteries for wma and state forests.. so some people will draw both, even though you only have 1 tag.. completely knocking out an opportunity for those who won't draw.  There were already too many people not drawing a permit and this will make it worse. I feel for those from farther away that are trying to hit de public, since you must buy the license and go through the course just to apply and then not draw. But I digress.
