This year, all I have spent is about $45 for my general hunting license and bow tag. I got 95 lbs of meat off my deer. Gas was very little as I hunt within a mile or two of my parents where I would swing by most weekends anyway. Of course, in the last five years I have bought a bow, several rests, limsavers and other accessories, 2 doz. arrows, 3 packs of broadheads, fees for 3d tourneys etc.....that makes it greater, but since I take at least one big buck(100lbs of meat) and maybe a doe, its still reasonable. I save a ton by making a lot of stuff myself.
However i also consider hunting my 'therapy'......you want to consider the net savings of not getting billed by a shrink


?
I am MAKING money doing it (by not spending more on other things that I would be doing) and I am not even a pro![8D]
In the end and all sarcasm aside, you all have to agree...........PRICELESS
