Default pre season spendings?

How much do you spend on gear, shells, new stuff, treestands, arrows, doe pee, corn, lease ect. before your season starts?

if you can't really think of how much just estimate

just wondering

I try to get as much as possible immediately after the season ends once it goes on clearance. For example, (for my ML) a box of 50-50 blackpowder is around $31 normally. Last year it was on sale for $19 at Wally World. Stocked up.

good buying! I spend $100-$250 with tags, shells, bullets and a garmet or two!

Not counting the purchase of my remington 870 or savage .270, less than 100 bucks on average. I'll buy a couple of boxes of ammo to practice with and keep about 10 rounds on hand at any given time. Otherwise I just use the same stuff every year and since I don't use scents or anything I don't really have to replenish anything but ammo.

Also that you have a lifetime license doesn't help?

I'm usually under $100, already have most everything I need. 2007 will be more expensive, got a new ML so I'll be setting it up.
