Cost of deer meat per pound? It's not odd or weird to me that some people look at it that way. But I see where people are coming from. I am a land owner in northwest Oklahoma and a cattle rancher. I have pretty good land for farming and grass for grazing, but I also have some excellent deer hunting. I killed 31 does last year on depredation. My son helped me and we managed to kill a few real good bucks during the general rifle. One in the 180s and one in the 140s. I have this land as my family (dad and I) acquired most of it as a reason to have our own place to hunt through the past 30 years. When I was a kid, I had thousands of acres to hunt and fish, but money started talking. And I can't blame the surrounding landowners. Most people will pay 5 grand to hunt 2 weeks up here. Crazy to me. So I guess if hunting is your passion, do whatever it takes to get out there. And if you do own ground, don't take it for granted.
