I'm cheap....... BUT.... my venison cost about $113.00 a pound I figure...maybe $213.00.[&:] Honestly, it's not about the money....except to my wife.[&:][&:] She keeps track every year on the Master Card statements. She'll come to me around tax time with "Do you know how much you spent on hunting last year". To which I usually come back with, "NO, but I'm sure you're going to tell me". It seems a typical year is $1,500 to $2,000. But, you have to remember I take a couple short trips to NY every year and buy the non resident license($250). One year I bowhunted 5 states and racked up close to $1000 just in tags. I don't count such things as 4 wheel drive trucks etc[&:] And I'm hunting all free land, no leases or anything like that. Like I say, I'm cheap. I've been bowhunting for 35 years and have owned only 5 bows including the recurve I started with. Some folks change bows like I change underwear. IN fact, I bet the Blue Undies are much older than most peoples bows. Short answer, in 50 years of hunting.... a lot of money. I'm slowing down now though. I suspect I'll be around $1500-2,000 again this year, NOT counting my new 4 wheel drive truck.
