Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds as a practical meat-hunter, can it still occur, or are we past the common condition?

my uncle, a factory worker, first procured (purchased), a pre-64 win 30=30. to connect with a horned beast was good. later, a day or two allowed for a hornless individual to be taken.

for me, later in the 70's, a '06 remmy seemed to be the answer, given the changes in the environment.

my first doe (female, etc.), was kilt with a model marlin, 1894, 44 mag. yes, it worked, but she was pretty small.

anyways, nowadays, why hunt deer if all if one has no hope of having a big horned male in one's sights?

meat hunting, given the price/cost of ground round beef is just not worth the effort, is it? i mean, given the license fee, lease fee, gun cost, ammo cost, clothing cost.

what is the economics of hunting big game leading us to? anyone know for sure?

I bet 99% of hunters on this site don't hunt for economics. EDIT: should add solely for economics.

Also, why is this posted in the classifieds?

Maybe he's selling his guns because it's not cost effective to hunt?

"I'll Take it"

Kawi on Gus's computer at a meth lab will result in posts like this...

Gus either needs to get off the drugs or get back on them.

Are you selling guns, meat, or an economics course?

Geez I hope this earthling doesn't vote!

my licence is $25 and I can kill 9 deer from september-january.
pretty economical.

My license is 20 bucks, and I can kill unlimited does, and 4 bucks per year. I haven't bought beef in years, and don't miss it.

Money isn't all it's about for me. Look at where factory farm animals are coming from these days, the conditions they're raised in, and what they're being fed.

Deer is much cleaner meat, and is a lot more nutrient dense.

This may be the dumbest post I have ever seen.

Hang around the Hunter's Campfire forum a little.......you'll see a bunch of his posts that are dumberer than this one.

Gus I think you are two to three drinks beyond the common condition.

What is this "lease fee" you speak of ?

My 2015 pronghorn cost roughly $150/lb... It's pretty tasty too.

clearly you don't follow Gus!

i think it is in the classifieds because the OP is classified as a loon!

That's some good chit there. LOL

With the high price of beef nowadays, it makes even more sense to substitute venison for beef. I haven't bought ground beef in years!!!

Nothing to add here but want another post so I can earn my Bwana merit badge

My wife says our game meat is around $25 lbs because of how much i spend during the season. So i had to explain to her the meat was free because i was going to spend that much to hunt successful or not! She did agree!
