For me, it's the $1000 per year I pay to have a camp, water, electricity and 10K acres of private land to hunt, so I don't have to go in the million, or so, acres of public land surrounding it.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
in az it is around 1100 per pound at least for me. I do not have quad or 24" camp trailer so be on the low side. depending on if you are talking about deer, elk antelop of bighorn sheep
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.
No offense intended, and I follow the gist of your post; but, what does this first sentence/statement/phrase mean?

Your father's or mother's brother worked in a factory. He was first procured. An old 30 caliber rifle connected to a horned beast was good later. It requires a day or two to take a hornless individual.

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?

Not sure I understand topic as it does not seem to relate to "classifieds", but in my experience those hunting for economic reasons to put food on table are not constrained by license fees, bag limits or legal seasons. They simply take game as they need it and I don't fault them if that is their genuine situation.
Not counting a $.50 10mm handload, that's a value.

firstly i apologize for posting to the wrong group. i thought i was on the campfire page, these old eyes, ya know.
but, it's good to see some economics projected into the real world. to actually save (or make) money while helping to manage the out of control hog herd is encouraging news.
wish we could legally use snares here in jawja. maybe some day enlightenment will come our way.
usually, it's guns, traps, or dogs. sometimes bows & ML's.
GWB, thanks for helping to bring this post full=circle.
