how much do you pay a season?
i did the math today, i figured out it costs my dad and i $250-$300 per person per year, excluding gas, shells, and food. We pay $38 for a license, $39 for the three stamps(CA duck, Federal duck, and upland), we pay $130 for our season pass to hunt the NWRs in CA, and then we pay somewhere between $30-$60 per person to enter in the drawing for reservations on the refuges. how does this compare to you guys? i had no clue how much my dad was paying to take me hunting with him, though until a couple years ago i was a JR, so i costedpayed $40-$60 total. now add about $100 in gas a weekend, and then food and shotgun shells, and we are spending upwards of $1000 a year on duck hunting, im donateing all the money ive been saveing for a new shotgun(about $300) to help lighten the burden on my dad(suprised him i offerd that much of my money). If you guys are not paying this much money to go, then what are you paying and would you be willing to pay the price we are?
