I never spent over $200 in a year until was almost 40. Now I spend about $2000 a year in draw fees and required licenses for draws in 10 states.

Probably spend $1000 a hunt beyond the tag when travel out of state. This year am drawn in CO for elk so that is a $500 tag. Buying a TX pronghorn tag so another $1200. A few draws left to be announced but long odds on those hunts other than WY pronghorn.

Have a cougar tag for UT this winter. Did out of state turkey hunts in MO and UT back in April and May.

So around $7000 this year between draws, licenses, tags and travel.

Probably was $5000 last year. I enjoy being out in the woods and the high desert. The rest of my vacation time is spent seeing family and friends. People ask what I would do if I hit the lottery...easy...hunt more!!
