I still use camo I have from the 80's. If i don't buya new bow then it just arrows. scents, hand warmer, broadheads ect. I did buy a new pair of boots from cabelas to replace the pair I had for 7years [$185]. I will say if I want it I buy it. The last time I bought a new bow was 1999. I will say though if I want it I will buy it! I gess Im in the $500 range.

I don't really have one. BUT, it gets less every year. I stopped buying gadgets and dodads. I buy arrows, camo a new bow every 6 or 7 to 20 years. Why would anyone need to buy NEW optics every year. Breakdown and buy some good ones and you'll never have to buy them again. I stopped buying anything with scent lok in it because it's not worth the extra bucks. I bought non resident tags in 3 states this year which ups the bill by several hundred, but I'm still way under your "allowance" I'd say you're probably wasting half your allowance on unnecessary dubplication. Not counting trucks and stuff like that, my worst year was probably half your allowance. Now if you count fishing trips to Canada and things like that, well... they aren't hunting I tell ya.... it isn't hunting.[8D] The only reason I know how much I usually spend, my wife use to add it up and wave it in front of my face every January when the last Credit card bill came in.[&:]

Lifetime lisence, so nothing for tags. I might buy a few arrows.My bow is 7 years old and I don't plan on replacing it anytime soon. I may buy one or two articles of clothing each year, but that would be less than $100 on average. The biggest items would be things like gasoline, corn for the feeders, seed for food plots and stuff like that. I might buy a tree stand every couple of years, but $100 would kill that.

The biggest expense of them all, though is the land payment on my 40 acres, but it's one of the best things I ever did, buying that land.

I know some guys who spend 10-20 times that amount. They have been very kind to me and my family.Myself I buy what I need and try and spend no more. It adds up that's for sure. Wife is very supportive. She knows I need, love to hunt.

Wow, 5k a year!! must be nice. the truck that gets me back and forth to the hunting grounds cost half that. i am more in the 0-500 range.

I fall in the 500-1000 category. That includes all my tags, food and gas for away trips, and such as that.

I usually buy a dozen new arrows a year, normally a pack or two of broadheads, wool socks, scent elimination products, and any upgraded equipment for my bow. This past year I bought new sights. I also get a new bow every year, but working at the Pro Shop affords me one I don't pay for.....And all of my other stuff is considerably cheaper than consumer cost...So I got a good thing going there I think.

Some clothing every year,arrows,always picking up a couple more tree stands,tree steps etc. an unguided out of state hunt every year,hopefully some taxidermy every year.Typically in the $2000 to $2500 range.The out of state hunt is approximately $1500 of the total.

I don't know but I really don't want to add it all up. Between out of state tags, gas money, equipment and gear, food plots and equipment for those, etc it's a lot. It gets to be less and less though it seems because when I buy there are things I won't have to buy again.
