The Hunting Vacation: Man's Perfect Getaway

People often say that a vacation is about "getting away from it all." But is it? Many people name the annual family vacation as one of the most stressful times of the year. Between juggling hotel dates, trying to keep the budget reasonable, and dealing with ungrateful children, you may not be able to wait to get back to work! A hunting vacation, though...that's something else entirely. Instead of spending your time off dealing with theme park lines and overpriced souvenirs, you can relax in the woods and take some unique souvenirs of your own.

A hunting vacation doesn't have to mean "roughing it." You can, of course! You can set out to the woods with only a tent and a frying pan if you so choose. But most people aren't quite ready to get that communal with nature. Today's lodges are set up with the finest amenities this side of a five star hotel, but without the busy downtown surroundings. Plan ahead, do your research, and you're almost certain to find lodging that meets the needs of even the daintiest member of your family, while still retaining all of the manly appeal that Dad is looking for out of his vacation.

If you've never been hunting or have limited experience, you may question whether you have the knowledge necessary to go on such a getaway. While you may not have fun by yourself, many lodges have guides and instructors who can be at your service for a fee. Then you will not only get the companionship of a weathered hunter, but you will be at the benefit of his experience and knowledge of the area. He will likely know exactly where to go for the best sport, saving you from hours of boring waiting.

Few activities in the human repertoire are as old or as unique as hunting. While it isn't the "typical" vacation plan, who wants to be typical anyway? If typical means paying too much for a hotel room and leaving Disney World early because of the heat and the unexpected tantrums, perhaps it's time for typical to take a hike—literally! While there's nothing wrong with spending your vacation on the beach, sipping fruity drinks, how often does that scenario actually play out? In the movies, it happens every time. In real life, not so much. Go on a vacation that forces you out of your comfort zone, gets you far away from the familiar, and puts you in a reverie with nature. You'll be glad you did.
