Tally for us all - how much $ did we collectively spend
 

...this past season?

I'm curious to know this because of so many studies out there about how much hunters spend. If you don't mind, let's tally all of our spending up to get a really good idea and form our own statistic to see how much we really support the economy. Include all spending for all hunting this season whether is was deer, turkey or birds. Best guess is good enough.

Me: this year was a cheap year for me: $1,000 total season

(Try to tally all into it - gas, lodging, arrows, processing, sausage, new bow, phone calls, outfitter costs, etc.....)

BTW, don't respond if you already posted a reply on the hunting politics board.

3 G's.....new bow, new rifle, 3 processed deer, new hunting clothes, 5 ladder stands, ammo, liscense, boots ........ouch......

Just restarted hunting after a 18 yr absence. Sure as heck hope next year will be considerably cheaper.

Let's see - hotels $185, food $150, gas $180, arrows $60, BH's $25, processing $64, sausage $143, licenses $140, new knife $40, Scent-away $9, Scent lures $20, scent wicks $5, rifle cartridges $40, sighting in $8, new long underwear $55... that's about all I can remember. Looks to be about $1125

prolly aroun 2 g's. new bow, some equip. feeders, stand etc. But that's just a guesstimate. Every time I walk into an acedemy or any sporting goods store they at least get 50 bucks from me and most of the time I'm there I dont even need anything.

RE: Tally for us all - how much $ did we collectively spend
 

well, i had the total up to 1,180.00, but i keep remembering things so it will be closer to 1,500.00 by the time i get done.

RE: Tally for us all - how much $ did we collectively spend
 

9 bucks for junior combo liscense
about 400 for flintlock and accesories
about 80 on ammo
about 20 one cleaning supplies
120 for rocky timberwolf boots
about....100 in gas and food or so..to hunt in general..
40 on a backpack
and i cant remember much else but thats hunting everything from small game to deer..

RE: Tally for us all - how much $ did we collectively spend
 

Around 200! 60 bucks on arrows, New camo clothing at about 140.
(coulee where I hunt just down the hill.)

RE: Tally for us all - how much $ did we collectively spend
 

Counting all expenses it would be at least $2500. Maybe this year will be better, but I plan on getting a Swarovski or upper grade Zeiss so that blows that idea.....

This year maybe $200. for tags and everything as far as what I took out of pocket . I hunted on mine or my neighbors land so travel wasn't a big expense .
