2500.00 per gun. How many deer do you get to shoot per year for that and how much does that come to per pound of venison ?
Don't start.
It's no wonder there are so many hunters that say venison is expensive meat these days. It isn't necessarily so.
If it's just about putting meat in the freezer, I could probably get by on less than $150 for three deer (if I'm keeping property taxes out it).
But I spend 15-25 times that in a given year because I like seeing and hunting different parts of the country as well as spending time with friends/family I don't get to see that often. And I've yet to come up with a formula to put a cost-per-pound evaluation on friendship and experiencing new things.
You right about not putting a price on fellowship and being with those you don’t see often.
The camp i was in was 8 of us that grew up together.
Life scattered everyone about. Deer camp was the chance to get back together.
Hunt. Cook. Fellowship.
Sometimes it was all night drinking, cards, throwing darts, and no hunting. 😂
If i killed a deer. Great. If i didn’t that was good also.
Seeing my buddies kids getting old enough to hunt and take a deer was great also.
I can kill all the deer i want ( or bag limit) on the 20 acres i own.
Times spent with buddies was the best part of deer camp.
