RE: How much $ have you speant...
Well... um... i don't keep track of it because I'd end up shooting MYSELF with the equipment! LOL Seriously, this year alone it's been (what I can remember)...
$200 on my bow (Ebay)
$200 on a bow for hubby (consignment at our local archery shop)
$160 on a bow he didn't like and I have yet to resell
$60+ on licenses SO FAR, but it will go up to $110 after this weekend
I will be spending $70 on a blind tomorrow
$40 on broadheads
$20 on fletching
Will probably be spending $220on a muzzleloader for hubby in the next few days (haven't decided if I'm gonna surprise him with it yet or not, depends on what my commission check is like Thursday)
LOTS on gas... probably upwards around $300
will spend $40 on ammo for this weekend
$20 on scents
$40 on a coat for my daughter so she can go with us
$100 on Alpha Burly's for me
Just spent $40 on christmas presents for my hubby (hunting related) last night
Once again... you can add it up... and it's been a CHEAP year so far...

RE: How much $ have you speant...
The first question I asked my wife before she was my wife was, "Do you like to hunt and fish", she said "yes" I said, "Hi, my name is Buster".
WOW, this has got to be a trick question. Well, not only do I bow hunt, rifle hunt, fish I also have a Yamaha 660 Grizzly. So lets just say
mo money, mo money, then I can imagine.

Too much!
Be careful guys! You know this is a conspiracy between the wives/girlfriends! They all got together somehow and one of them is trying to get us to fess up!
Like Josh said, I've spent enough in the 20+ years I've been hunting to pay for 2 trucks.....Cash! I would say I average about $2500.00 per year. Huntin' in Texas ain't cheap.

RE: How much $ have you speant...
I have been bow hunting 15 years and the last 10 pretty seriously. I spent almost 1000 bucks about 10 years ago on a nice bow and setup. Since then, nothing else except new arrows and new broadheads and a new bow string a few years back. I'd say in 15 years I spent maybe $1500.00 total. My stand and camo and hat and boots have been with me since 1990...I stay away from those scent killers, gimmicks and other MUST HAVES...I was successful before those came on the market and I continue to be successfull without them. I'm also a cheap son of a ^%$#@ too!
