RE: How much $ have you speant...
Hunting with bow since '92
License ~ $50 ($12.50 each for general, big game, bow, muzzle) a year + $250 on a lifetime lic. 2 years ago. Which saves me buying $12.50 general hunting lic. each year.
bow ~ $450 with quiver and dozen arrows
arrows ~ 3 more dozen at $60 a doz.
broadheads ~ $45 for a dozen thunderheads and replacement blades.
camo ~ $500 over my whole life (I don't buy it unless it's on clearance)
rock climbing harness ~ $60 each (on my second one)
Climbing static rope ~ $25
Misc ~ $300 (bags, calls, etc)
binocs ~ $99
videos ~ $200 (clearance)
stands ~ $400 (clearance again)
Processing fee ~ $40 every other year (I'm picky and don't mind going without a deer some years)
Gas ~ Hate to think about it.
Food doesn't count since I'd eat anyway.
You can do the adding up.
