The cost can seem overwhelming when a guy is on a tight budget and you start adding up what you have already spent. But when you get inon a bugling bull that is carrying on so much that he seemingly makes the ground in front of you shake, the expense seems worth it.

On a related note, a guy in our group last year took in a quartered animal just to put in the cooler so he could take it back home (he lives in Colorado and wanted to call for some of the other hunters in camp so he didn't want to leave)and have it processed and it cost him over one hundred bucks just to store it.
