Yeah, you sure can't justify the price of the meat! I drove on my hunt and the lodging was free and I think when it all came down to it my mule deer and antelope ended up costing close to $20/lb, and Idid all the processing myself. [:-]
Depending on how you calculate the cost of the land, my Texas whitetail ended up costing even more than my Montana mule deer even though the price of my hunting license in Texas was less than $50.
The memories were priceless though!
