For the most part, sport hunters expect to pay far more than 20 bucks per pound for their meat. The gizmos, gadgets, bells and whistles, ammo, scents, new camo, calls and the sort they want new every year puts hunting into the luxury column. For me this season is one where I had to make a conscience decision to get back out there just to bring home the meat. I bought a box of slugs and a box of 00 cheap stuff. Then the license and wma permit will top the list. After one deer in the freezer I can start shifting food items back from the luxury column they had to be shifted into recently to the necessity column.
I am a 6 mile round trip drive from my spot.
