Take it one more step and figure out the price/lb of deer meat, fish, DOVE, etc.!

That's where I draw the line, I don't want to know that because it directly translates to the way you shoot.

This should explain it...

After the VYenna Sausages and Saltines...

Hilarious!

Well, you thought Enron was sneaky when they cooked their books!! I will say that hunting public land keeps the cost down a ton, and since gas prices fell this fall, it was less than projected!!

[huntmaster]

is 20% a good # atleast it sounds better than .........

[trophyhunter]

I just created an expense spreadsheet for the ranch we bought 2 years ago, inclusive of feed bills, utilities, insurance, supplies, mortgage, etc. That was a MISTAKE!!!

Making money is not an option........staying afloat is the goal!

isn't a public land type 2 permit $48.00? How could you have only spent thirty something if a permit is more than that? or is it some different kind of public land?

I did a tally last year and it was well over 10k, I spend an annual of about 15k for my outdoor sports and this is coming from the female aspect! Understand women hunt and fish and we like to have all the pretty things that go along with the sport. So now you know why the outdoor store like my business as well .

LBJ does not require a APH!!

Cost of Hunting!

2 Bows- $1000.00
Arrows,rest etc.-$400.00
Land use, transportation & food-$1000.00/yr
Time in the woods w/family and friends-PRICELESS!

DOES IT REALLY MATTER HOW MUCH?

I refuse to add it up....I might stroke out or have a heart attack! Some things are better left alone! HA!

[Codie]

Lets see:

New bow for my wife - $320
New release because my wife liked mine - $50
Gas to Shackleford cnty and back home - $25
Gas to Tilden Tx and back home - $145
Gas to Throckmorton and back hom - $10
Hunting License - $ 60
Food - $50
Pheasant hunt - $50.00
Pheasant taxidermy - $225
That is $935.00 with NO deer lease or corn cost.

This next year will go up in cost:
Lease - Free
Corn - Free
2 Protien feeders - $400
Protien - $500
License for me and wife - $120
Gas to Shackleford cnty - $20
Gas to Tilden Tx - $125
Gas to and from the lease - $200
Food - $200
Axis deer hunt - $2,000

Total - $3,565 NOT including taxidermy cost or meat processing. I better make sure I have a "customer" on every hunt this year so I can write this stuff off!

[andy1clancy]

Well said....friend,family and the woods what else could one possible need.

[quarterback]

Here's how I justify/look at it:

- I quit Skoal last January. That's one can per day at about $5.50 per can. Multiply that by 365 days per year and that comes out to $2,007.50.

-My deer lease is cheaper than that, so I guess I'm saving money.
-Wife should be happy with that. And that's what is important.

cant even begin or wont to put a price on it----PRICELESS
