pre season spendings?
 

How much do you spend on gear, shells, new stuff, treestands, arrows, doe pee, corn, lease ect. before your season starts?

if you can't really think of how much just estimate

just wondering

RE: pre season spendings?
 

haven't the slightest, some years i've probably spent over $2k, some other years probably less than $50

RE: pre season spendings?
 

usually too much

RE: pre season spendings?
 

this year i think it was just a little under 1000.

RE: pre season spendings?
 

Pre season, about $4,000.

I try to get as much as possible immediately after the season ends once it goes on clearance. For example, (for my ML) a box of 50-50 blackpowder is around $31 normally. Last year it was on sale for $19 at Wally World. Stocked up.

RE: pre season spendings?
 

good buying! I spend $100-$250 with tags, shells, bullets and a garmet or two!

RE: pre season spendings?
 

Not counting the purchase of my remington 870 or savage .270, less than 100 bucks on average. I'll buy a couple of boxes of ammo to practice with and keep about 10 rounds on hand at any given time. Otherwise I just use the same stuff every year and since I don't use scents or anything I don't really have to replenish anything but ammo.

Also that you have a lifetime license doesn't help?

RE: pre season spendings?
 

I'm usually under $100, already have most everything I need. 2007 will be more expensive, got a new ML so I'll be setting it up.

;) very true, very true

RE: pre season spendings?
 

i usualy pay for my lisence and tag my uncle pays for everything else.:D:)

RE: pre season spendings?
 

I'm just shaking my head wondering how in the world all you folks don't easily spend over $2,000 every season. Man, 2K doesn't even go far these days when just a new bow rig will run yawell over half that!How in the heck does anyone just spend $100 per year?!? I probably spend that on just tags and license!

RE: pre season spendings?
 

same here.

I can't not spend less then 100. i'll spend that much on shells and arrows.
my bet for people who went up to 2K lease land.

but i guess if you've got the right set up then its easy to not spend much.

RE: pre season spendings?
 

Tags... 35 for archery and gun tags
Arrows... 1 dozen/year 75
Ammo... I spend around 400-500/yr on reloading supplies, but that's another hobby unto itself
Clothing... 60/yr, usually pick up sale items after season
Camp supplies... food, beverage, ice, paper plates,cups etc 200
I'm sure there's more, but don't tell the wife...

Try going back to the very first post, he's asking how much we spend before the season not what we spend through out.....Heck if you want to ask what I spent for the whole season then your getting up there with gas, food, and although I stay at a friends house while hunting we each chip in $30 for the weekend and give him. I still have most everything already and just by some new shells every year so yea, I'm safe saying less than $100 before I pull out of the driveway. Cost me $15 for a first season tag, then another $15 for the second season only permit.
