He claims the hunting stuff helps provide food for the family and saves money. Hmmmmm, let's see; add all of the equipment together and factor in transportation, lease, and licenses, I figure that his savings cost us $75.00 per pound. Oh Well!
Did you add in the cost of the deer corn @ $7 a bag, the buck jam @ $8 a jug to pour on the corn, the deer block, the 5 tree stands, the 4 wheeler, the $240 meat grinder, the very large pot to mix the ground meat in and the packaging materials? Oh, and in my case that crossbow in the corner over there. Let's not start on how much we get from fishing...
