Dude my multiplier helps....but I sure as HELL don't wanna know!:D

Yea, i am in the 50 plus range. I ussually give most of my deer away. I will keep one doe but other than that they all get given away. If i knew how much a pound of deer meat cost i would quit hunting lol, because i could eat ribeye steak every night!!!

RE: how much by pound do you spend on the deer you kill hunting
 

$20 for the license
$2 for deer tag
That comes to $22.00

Another Method:
$230,000 For the property
$300 for the bow
$15 per arrow
$4.50 per broadhead
$100 per tree stand
That comes to $230,419.50 for the first deer and each one after that divides the cost in half.

I like the first method better. lol

If I killed my limit it would be 200 deer(which I won't). Even if they all just weighed 100 pounds that's 20,000 lbs.
So if I spent $10,000.00 (which I won't/didn't) it would just be $2.00 per pound.;)

definitely not something that I want to add up!!!!

it all boils down to taking that animal and orprocessing that animalfor yourself whether out west or east.,food, supplies, fuel ,outfitters, etc,,etc....if anyone says anythingdifferent they're lying trhrough there teeth.


.It Costs to hunt.

RE: how much by pound do you spend on the deer you kill hunting
 

Each year I tell the wife that there's a start up cost, but every year after it gets cheaper so the cost per pound is almost nothing. Yep that's what I tell her.

She's a good woman. I'm in the nothing years. The money I spend now comes from a different budget. Part of my health insurance. The cost there goes up all the time. Ya know how health insurance is.:D

Ditto...

RE: how much by pound do you spend on the deer you kill hunting
 

I second that. Man, don't let my wife see this thread.

i see mine as the cost of processing or doing the butchering my self is the per pound cost

and the bow tree stand gas land and so on is the cost for the thrill of the hunt and the fun of it
