For me hunting has become less about the food, more about time out of the house and enjoyment. I can get beef cheaper than 90% of the people can get wild animal especially if they have it processed by someone else. I paid $30 for a resident deer tag and $20 for a hunting license and habitat stamp, all which are required for a deer. It was worth it though as I had a lot of fun.
In todays paper though I read that approximately 12% less deer were taken this year even though there were 5,000 more permits available. It is becoming extremely hard to get on land and the more land that goes away the more you will see prices of permits and such go up as there are fewer people hunting.
