when all is said and done last weekend for my long weekend of hunting i prolly dropped close to $400 to cruise the country side and look at critters and not chamber a round....to hunt an area that starts 60 miles from my door....thats without factoring in the cost of the gun and rounds i shoot year round to stay in practice....for 3 days of hunting....will do the same over Thanksgiving weekend if it aint to wet to get out where i hunt....most years we hunt atleast 4 long weekends and not 2 but my back surgery screwed things up this year....some years its 6 weekends....
as i said charge me nonresident rates and the tags are still the cheapest part of my hunting......if i was hunting for meat i would shoot whitetail off a friends haystack 7 miles from home......for what i spend in gas alone to chase mule deer i could by a full beef and half a ranch raised bison cut how i want....
