buying meat at the grocery store is cheaper then hunting??? what grocery store is that??? Back in missouri id kill 3 doe a year, I'm a meat hunter, I do enjoy the hunt but my primary reason for hunting is I'm addicted to venison. as far as the money i saved from harvesting meat by deer hunting I have saved alot of money eating venison, lets see how to put this the first tag is 15 dollars the second and third are 10 dollars = $35 + bullets ( handloaded 308) 3x 30 cents = 90 cents + $0 for processing i do it myself and get roughly 50 to 60 lbs of meat per deer, so 150 to 180 lbs of venison for $35.90 thats equivalent of 4 to 5 cents a pound, tell me where please??? where you can buy beef at a grocery store that cheap??????? I thinks its hilarious when tree huggers try to use that as fuel to argue against hunting. BLAHAHAH If a treehugger had half a brain they would still only have half a brain.
