You're right, Cardeer, but when you see what some of the guys on here (myself included, to a lesser extent) spend a year on new gear, lease payments, travel expenses, etc. the deer are already well, WELL over $100/lb. Not saying anything is wrong with this, just pointing out the actually cost of venison. Many of us could eat filet mignon darn near all year long for what we pay to get 60-80 lbs. of venison.
