How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

Just trying to determine where I stand on spending $$$ on bowhunting.

How much will you guys/gals shell out this year??

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

Well I have a major purchase pending....a new bow. So I will be spending a bunch more than usual. Excluding a major purchase I spend way less than a $100 on gadgets/gizmos over the course of a year. Probably less than $50 most years. Then again, I'm not new at this and I have a lot of stuff already.

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

What kind of questions is that ? :D

Seems to go up every year ......!!!!!

Just bowhunting........probably $6000 + !! [:o][:'(]:D

Just so ya'll don't think I'm crazy.........I'm including my new lease , stands, gear, clothes, boots, Sept. mule deer hunt in Canada.....and whatever esle come up (hopefully a lot of taxidermy work :D)

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

Well Lets see my son needs a new bow thats about $500 , I'm going to need arrows and broadhead he needs broadhead and a release. Were thinking about one or two climbers also this year.

Shhhhhhhhhh. Quiet. My wifes here.

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

Up tp $1400 this year.............it'll be the end of me. Now that's only because I bought a new bow for the first time in 13 years and rotated everyhting out, so that's not normal..............lucky for me!

"No new bow seasons" I spend probab;y around $300.

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

Based on the fact tahat I've already bought a new bow and the accessories that go with it.....you could say $4-6K (including at least one trophy hunt).
Just got my cabela's, year end statement and I think I spent 5K last year there alone.

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?

All of it.:D

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

No more than i have too in order to meet my needs.......i mean wants!:D

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

I wish I had a few grand to spend on hunting stuff. Last year I went all out and spend around 500. WAY TOO MUCH!!! Hopefully this season I'll spend more so around 250-300!

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

Well I have already spent about $1650 so far. I figure another $1000 is a safe bet (that is a license, archery tag, gas back and forth, motel rooms and some accessories). So $2600-$2800

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

Got a new bow coming. Probably go thru a couple dozen arrows. Gotta renew my membership in Traditional Bowhunters of Texas. Hunting/fishing license. Club officers have their dues paid by the club, so I'm off the hook there... again. And the miscellanious stuff that always comes up... I guess about $400, all told. But I'll sell off some stuff (sights, releases and such) I don't use any more, so that will offset some of the expense.

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

Well, I have already spent about a grand this year [:o]

Hopefully, it won't be too much more, but I dought it. I still want to get a digital game camera, gotta get a new climber, I would like to get a couple more hang-ons, need some more seed for foodplots, plus, I am gonna get new binoculars, also, add hunting liscence, scents, scent killer, b-heads, ect.... [:'(]

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

Right around $250.00

ASAT 3d-suit. with bucket hat--- $150.00
Another dozen Cedar arrows--- $65.00
Deer Tag--- $34.10

Moment in time of the release---Priceless!!!!!!!!

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

Just bought a new sight and the NV system for my bow and looking at a new rest, thinking about a drop away, but haven't made the move yet. Excluding my trip to Canada probably about $500 total, I have to buy my youngest daughter her first bow.

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

I went on 9 out of state Bowhunts last year-logged 12,000 miles from the trips.
How much do you think my GAS bill was?
Headed out for Buffalo Bowhunt the 20th of March & another Bowhunt to Texas in Sept. & then a week in Wisconsin plus maybe a out of state (or 2) Spring Turkey PLUS all the Bowhunting at home. I will be Bowhunting Whitetails in Iowa & filming my son & Brother in Illinois (my ORIGINAL) home state.
I just feel fortunate to be able to SPEND the TIME "AND" money on Bowhunting.
Starting my 47th year of a GREAT SPORT...

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

You're a lucky man ahunter55.........I pray one of my rugrats gives me the chance to chase them around with bow in hand like you! Daughter just turned 3 years old and the boy's going on 2.........what should I buy next? Starter bow?

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

I've got a baby due in March, so this year I'm going to have to be a little easier on the checking account than usual. Tags, liscense and a new string should be about it. Less than 100 bucks.

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

Well I know It will be $1000 in lease fees and that don't include propety taxes on my farm. Last years total was close to $5000 hopefully this years will be less.

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

Who cares how much we spend. Gota have It . We buy it .:D But don't tell the wife[>:]

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

Probably be over 2000 plus, if you add all expenses. License, tags, gas, food, archery supplies, yep, adds up in a hurry, But sure enjoy it, so I won't worry about cost!! :D

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

Probably under $200 this year, unless I get that big one for the wall. I got a new bow this past year and i didnt lose any arrows, so I wont need anything in that department. I might get a new release tho. I have 4 stands allready, and not much room for any more, so I wont need one of those. The only thing I can think of is I would like to get some more camo.

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

As much as i can without getting put in the dog house :D.

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

You know, it always seems to add up one way or another! This year probably $1500 but then again I just spent $550 for a new bowfishing rig, and I want to totally redo my food plots, add 6 new permanent portables, get a climber, and the list never stops....does it! I'm hope it stays under $3000 this year!

Its too much fun!

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

Not much.

Gonna get another cam put on my bow, already have the cam, and have the string and harness replaced..........that's it.

Still have my carbon arrows...........oh, I'm gonna have my arrows refletched.

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

Well, got a new bow in late '03, and I don't do that too often, dropped over 1K for that set-up, plus misc. stuff. This year, probably need some new arrows, broadheads, gonna get a rangefinder, maybe a new release. I usually hunt on public land, but that has been unproductive for me (just gettin back into the sport, never did any out of state stuff). I may get some out of state tags this year, plus my local tags, probably will spend about 500-600.

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

For just bowhunting I would say somewhere around 100-200 dollars. For just hunting in general....over $1000 probably.

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

I'm planning on getting a new climber and some ASAT camo. Plus I 'm going in on a 600 acre lease with 4 other guys.I"ve already bought 1&1/2 doz. arrows EZ crests and feathers. I bought some Montec G5s to try out next season. Plus I plan to put out minerals and probably a couple of food plots.ECT. ECT! ECT!!!

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

Ahunter55, you need to get a paying job, you got too much time on your hands.;) Enjoy it buddy.
I don't even know how too add up the cost, but like I tell the girlfriend, I only used 4 shells this hunting season. ;) Bobby

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

I have already spent $1400.00 this seaon on a new bow and accessories and I figure Another $1000.00 with my moose trip,some scent's,arrow's ,3D membership,licenses ,ground blind and Ladder stand .$2500.00 ought to do it but a normal season would likely be about $800.00

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

I already dropped $787.00 on a new bow last Sunday. I'm sure I'll drop alot more before the years up.

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

I usually spend ~$1,000 total. This year will be higher b/c some buds and I are going to NB to bear hunt.

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

I usually average about $2500. per year, but a new bow is in the works so this year will probably be about $3500.

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

Geez,
I've told my wife I'd try to keep it under $500.

Lets see, Mathews Outback, $200.
New Drop Away rest, $30
New Double Bull Blind, $100
New bow case, $50
Dozen arrows, $20
New Gortex, Scent Lok suit, about $75.

Lets see...That leaves me about $25 for a Montana Whitetail tag around the Milk River area.:eek:

You guys are unbelievable! Your wives let you spend that kind of money? My wife said I could only spend around 500.[X(]
You guys are nuts!

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

Well i have all my gear except for broadheads and a stabilizer. But with tags, heads, stabilizer, new string and the common replacements.. hopfully i dont spend anymore than 250. But I may see some things I "hafta" have.:D

RE: How much $$ do you plan on spending this year?
 

I am going to be relativly cheap. 30$ for a few new arrows. 40$ more my diff tags. 50 bucks for any new scents, calls.... 20$ for bullets. gas and food 100$.

300$ for my dad and I together.
