The same could be said for me even having a lease. I probably spend 4,000 with cost of lease, corn, traveling back and forth to lease, food, beer, etc. since I retired I can go for 4 or 5 days which is nice.

Per trip.......

Annual trespass fee..........$2K

640 miles round trip @ 12MPG ..........Say $160

20 gal gas for Generator.........$60

Food, Say ...$75

Ice........ $30

Adult Beverage & Stogies ....$75

Corn/Protein..... $150

total: +/- $715 per trip

Usually go about 12-15 times per year.

Did I mention I luv perforatin' hoglets!

I could do a hell of a elk or mule deer hunt for what I spend annually,

but then I'd have to have a guide and march to the beat of a different drummer

Nada!
