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.
There is no price per pound there. Just like finishing hiking out the final elk quarter. I’d never wanna put pen to paper what that elk meat cost in fuel and money, but damned is it a helluva good time.
