I buy a resident sportsman license for $25. This includes 6 deer tags and 2 turkey tags. Only two bucks can be taken in Arkansas. Duck stamps are extra, since I dont duck hunt that saves me money. You can buy a small game license and one deer tag for $10.50.

I did'nt get into everything with our licenses, I left out the duck stamps, the trapping license, the youth, the non resident, the senior free, the goose, ect....

Yea hunting can get expensive! I have a buddy who's wife also hunts, between them they usually take say 6 deer a year. Now my buddy does'nt process his own deer he takes them 50 miles away to a place who does a great job and they make everything under the sun with the meat. On average he spends about $120 a deer to have them processed. He gets breakfast sausage, Italon, hot dogs, slim jims, ect....so for them 6 deer he'll spend $720.00 just in processing fees not including the gas money back and forth for the 50 mile drive, that's another $20 a drive. Just think of all the Portorhouse and Delmonaco steaks you could buy with that. But he loves his venison like we all do.
I try and do most of my own deer processing, I do take a deer to the same place he takes his but the only bummer with this is it's SNOWS a-lot there, it's up in Hill Country. They could have 5-6 feet of snow up there and the drive there gets trecherous at times, I've even ran into a few blizzards on the way there.
We get a-lot of snow where I live too but up there it's unreal, I've seen houses that you could'nt even tell they were houses, there driveways had 12ft banks of snow on the sides of them and they have to bring in special snow cutting machines for the roads. When your on the road all you see is a giant wall of snow on each side of the road when your driving.
The winter befor last they had so much snow there they could'nt even hunt that season, the snow was over 5ft deep and deeper.
We also hunt a trac of land my buddy owns only 12 miles from our homes, it's also in Ski Country, there's been many a time when on Opening Day we all drive there only to get back in our trucks and drive back home to hunt the lower elevation because the snows too deep. Our season ended befor it even started there. Im 6'6" and when I try and walk through the snow and it's above my waist, it's usless to even try to hunt.

This year I'll be hunting just VA and TN.

VA - Out of State for me but I do have a lifetime license.
$121 gets me 2 bucks and 3 does, bear, turkey and small game.


TN - In State
$84 gets me 3 bucks and more does than I want. Turkey, Bear and small game. (this also includes bow)

I process all my own meat, so the only other expense I have is gas.

oldsmellhound

I hunt on our family's land, so in Ohio that means we don't have to buy a hunting license or any tags. So it costs me $0 . We're allowed 1 buck and up to 5 does a year. 2 turkeys in spring season and 1 in the fall season if I'm not mistaken.

BP , I bought the NYS super sportsman life-time,bow,ML license I think 7 years ago now. At age 37 now it was worth it.

That butcher your talking about with all the snow ,does he happen to live in Parrish NY?
Steve

Muley Hunter

HuntAway............Your dog has to get a licence? Do you lend him the money?

Breechplug

Almost....it starts with a "P" it's actually Panama NY and the place is called Steven's Brothers. It's in Amish Country and for the life of me I still dont know how them horses get around in all that snow.
The owner also takes care of Animals, he's a Vet and a Darn Good one and very very reasonable on his prices. Besides being a Vet and processing Deer, they process Cattle and Pigs and you can get some of the best Bacon, Steaks, Prime Rib ect. So when I go and pick up my deer I also grab a few non Venison items
Good to see you were one of the smart one's to get your Lifetime License. Just befor the License fee increase there was a ton of people in line buying there lifetime's. I cant remember exactly what they were selling for but if I can remember right they were around $900. I know I saw more $100 bills going over the counter than I could count, people were in line with hundreds in hand. But I just could'nt shell out the $1800.00+- for the wife and I so I just keep buying them every mid August and hope I can be there again next august to buy 2 more
