Depends on the locale. Pay to play is the nature of the beast in states with minimal public acreage. Exactly. Lots of public land here. Venison is cheap meat.

I can go any day and lay on the beach for nothing. But I layed on the beach in Hawaii and that was another story and it sure wasnβt free. Hasbeen

I bet deer meat costs $25/lb. πππ Hell, I ain't even a very good hunter, and deer numbers are WAY down from where they were 10-15 years ago around here. I'm not a picky shot at all, and there's still a lot of years I eat tag soup. There's been a couple I've been out every day of the season and not even seen a deer... still beats the schidt out of sitting at home, puttering around and waiting for ponds to freeze up for ice season.

I average 5 deer a season and spend around 200.00, license/tags, gas, ammo. Comes to less than a dollar a pound.

The point is, hunting/venison isn't necessarily expensive for everyone.

Fairly irrelevant to the original location of the topic, where there is little public access.

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.

It is and always has been primarily about meat to me. It's part of our lifestyle, right along with cutting/heating with firewood and growing our own fruits and vegetables. That said, I do have a group of friends I hunt with a few days a year at a camp an hour away {a large portion of my gas cost} and a hunting partner whose been my best friend since high school that I hunt with regularly every year. If it weren't for going to camp I could cut my gas cost to near zero as there are thousands of acres to hunt within 5 miles of home.

Condolences Hanco.
I've been both a land owner and I/ve been on 5 different ranches in the last 24 years.
Believe me, I feel your pain.
