If you could...

Maybe a hobby for some....but being a hunter has paid off for me....and from my experience, it's not cheaper to buy it at the store. And the meat at the store is low quality. I got a buck this year, and got about 70 lbs of meat. It's not much but I paid $20 for my deer tag (I'm a disabled vet) and I've had my bow and other gear for years....I don't spend hundreds on arrows or anything. In all I spent about 60 bucks for 70 lbs of meat this year.....couldn't get that much healthy meat for that price at the store. I'm gonna be buying a house next year and plan on buying some land with it. I'll raise my own animals too and harvest them....but until that happens, hunting is still a viable option for me. At least for deer! haha Elk is a bit harder for me.

Im having a bad year here personally, only tag ive filled is bear.  Im still out with my bow trying to find a good buck, but its getting to where every day im having to make the choice between shooting a young dumb buck or eating my tag.  But thats how it goes, some good years some bad years.  I might just eat my deer tag this year.  Kinda hard thing to swallow, but it is what it is.

I agree. It is what it is. Sucks for sure though.

I wish I could do that all the time! I've been a rifle Hunter for the last 13 years and got a muzzle tag this year. I always see elk during seers season and usually find big bucks during elk season. I try to hunt the same areas for both and never see what's in season. Frustrating but I'll take it any day over being in the city!
