Get with the times! Obviously the best way to burn wa points is to spend $2790 to go hunt out of state because cheap meat! As long as im reading correctly.Anybody that hunts big game in Washington or any other state that is, for "cheap meat" has lost their minds! No matter what you are paying to hunt, wild game is not cheap! All we are arguing here is if you want to spend $25 a pound or $125 a pound!!! Ha Ha!! In todays world, wild game meat is a bi-product of your sport. I disagree that you cant get a lot of cheap meat hunting in state. I can buy an elk license for 30 dollars and if I choose to shoot a cow in my area I shouldn't have to travle much or need much gas money and can just stay in my house for lodging. If i add 20 bucks for gas thats 50 dollars for around 160lbs of meat off cow? Thats like 30 cents per pound if I process the meat myself. When I go to Montana, I agree with you that meats expensive but I agree most of us would spend more on other vacations if we didn't hunt. Sportsman pack in Idaho is 125 bucks and you get a bear,turkey,deer,lion and a wolf tag. Thats a lot of meat minus the wolf is MT really that crazy per pound though. Given my above scenario where a guy spends $900 to go to MT, shoots a buck, and ends up with 80lb of finished product (add in $30 of pork for burger) thats $11.62 a pound. If you truly just wanted cheap meat, round up buddies, buy 4 MT doe tags for $80 a pop and spend that same $100 on gas. Thats $420 for 200lb+ of meat. Thats $2.10 a pound. I challenge anyone to go buy 200lb of premium steaks and quality lean ground beef for less money....

Man I'm lost..I thought this was about how to burn 18 points in wa...
Those aren't costs of a trip unless you are purchasing them for that trip. My 300wsm i bought 10 years ago can't count as a $1,000 cost on every trip i go on. You could sell me on an oil change being a cost but thats about it.
Good thing the guy didn't ask where to burn 20 quality elk points...Speaking of which.....
You're comparing apples to oranges. A fishing boat is used exclusively for fishing. A vehicles is something you own regardless of hunting. My truck takes ne to work, the store, over mountain passes to visit family, taking the kids skiing, camping, the dump, to haul dogs to the lake to swim, etc, etc, etc. Low on the list of uses is miles driven for hunting.
I have boated someone up chelas before with the Manson tag. Only in nice COLD weather
The don’t hunt for cheap meat I hunt for expensive horns And the only time it takes two days to Eastern Montana is in an ice storm otherwise we drive 13 hrs and a 1000 miles straight only stopping for fuel. That said put in for the desert unit
