Two weeks of annual leave, and about $5000 for my elk hunt in Montana, probably around $400 to $600 for local hunts. More than I want to admit on reloading supplies the rest of the year.
The initial expenses were the most, license, training, permits, first gun ammo about a couple of thousand there. After that annual permits a couple hundred, gas food about the same already had the camping gear and truck to get there. So annually about $500.
being in the woods doing what I like?
Priceless
A little under $3000 a year. Cheaper then a wild woman and almost as much fun.
Between $300 and $600, depending if i get non-resident tags in Kalifornistan. Except for coyote, there’s no season and ammo is cheap! a weekend of fun for about $50 total.
hmmmm
license: $17 for hunting and fishing.
Tags: $10 for deer and $16 for elk and im thinking about going out for a bear this fall thats 6.75
Gas: it depends how far i decide to go hunting but for the whole season deer and elk im going to say 2 tanks of gas at the most so 120 bucks if we take the pickup. little less if we take the four runner.
then yearly varmint hunting: around 100 bucks on a good year other years its 20-30 bucks…
EDIT: i almost forgot my wolf tag is $11.50
Honestly, around $100 including license, gas , ammo, the whole shebang.
The license is the most expensive investment after my gun and my time. I like to hunt as close to home as possible. Lucky for me that has always been withing an hour’s drive. Now it’s a matter of walking out my back door.
I spent fair market value on my rifle but it was brand new and will last much longer than I will. I got $100 knocked of the price of my scope. I was just lucky because a guy special ordered the one I wanted and never picked it up. The guy I buy all my guns from is a relative so he sold it to me at cost.
My time is probably the most expensive investment. Sometimes I get lucky and get an animal right at sun up. Other times, like last year, I wear out my boots with nothing to show for it.
But I try to keep it as cheap as possible. No reason for me to hunt another state or go on a guided hunt. My aim is to fill the freezer, little more.
Maybe $20 for the license, $20 for ammo/equipment unless I have a major unexpected expense like needing to replace my pellet rifle, and maybe $10 in gas. So call it around $50. Then again I only hunt squirrel and rabbit.
I put 10k miles on my truck last year just during deer then duck and goose season…I’m afraid to add up how much money that is.
Add up the fast food and energy drinks (who wants to cook after you’ve been up since 4 a.m.?) and its a few hundred dollars more…
License and such is the cheap part.
Ammo a few hundred dollars.
And for all the new equipment I always want I will have to hit the lottery every year for the rest of my life to stay as updated as I would like!
Handloading a box of ammo (using my old brass): ~$6-7
Deer tags @ $15 a pop: $30-45 depending if I just buy one buck tag or the combo
Snacks: vary probably around $40-50
Gas: $5-10
Hunt around home, so really very few expenses involved
