Spending on hunting is all realitive to your means and what turns you on. $5000 could be low to some while $500 could be high to others. Heck you could drop$5000 every year on air fair alone while others could do all their hunting out the back door and not even be buying gasoline to go. Talk about buying and owning land and you could easily be spending 5 grand a year on property taxes aloneand the next guy might have access to more and better land than the guy that owns and not be paying a dime for it.
