The cost to hunt, I'm going to Normally the cost for me to hunt ranges from 30$ too 252$ I have land in So i guess for a perfect weekend it could cost 800$ for a 150+class buck, license, mount, and to have the meat taken care of. I have a place in the mountains to bear hunt but never have. I think I’m going to try in 2008.So I’ll let you know what a Ga bear hunt will be when I go.

i pay 25 bucks for a hunting/fishing license.
add 26 bucks or so for duckstamps. add 20 bucks for 4 doe-tags (harvesting female whitetails)
it's pretty cheap to hunt in SC - not sure about NONresident hunts though.

He must be hunting in the famed "Sanctuary." I think the last I saw their literature they command that kind of price tag.

I Can do the same here in Ga for 30 a year in all game licenses. But the chance at a 180+class white tail here isn't a possible thing to happen everyday or in every 10 or 20 year span. Then again I have always wanted to go there to hunt so i have a chance so I’m taking it. No it's not the best financial decision I have made but I love to hunt and like to hunt new places so it all kind of feel into place.

BigDaddy, with you on this one. Every now and then when the finances permit I also go after the Big One and some new experiences. The trick is to enjoy every moment and to create some memorable moments. Good luck on this trip!! |

Thanks 8shots,
yeah this is one thing i have always wanted to do.
Pryo, yeah i'm not much of a tropyh hunter ether but if i get the chance,and i did to shoot a tropy.. i'm taking it.I normaly hunt for meat myself but i'm sorry to say I can't go by if it's brown it's down.I know alot of hunters that are that way thats one of the reason that the deer here in Ga dosen't get that big.But i do know the Ga is slowly turning in to a managment state.the deer have got to have 4 points on one side and be out past it's ears. now alabama is a world all to its self. you can shoot a buck a day and a buck and a deo on doe days. I tend to be picky on what i shoot.i would rather shoot a 4 or 5 year old deer than a 1 or 2 year old.But thats me.
I just know maybe one day i'm going to have the opertunity to hunt all the game that some of my northern friends have.elk,moose and suck. but for now
high O high O off to michagin i go.

I big difference in the cost of a hunt can depend on if the wife is going along, a few years back I took her on an Alaskan hunt with me with out going into details it got up to 5 figures with the upgrades in travel, hotels etc. shoping and so on. A lot of the cost depens on the "style necessary for the hunt" top of the line hotels in Alaska are expensive. You just have to enjoy the experence and forget the cost if you are taking the wife, if she is not happy no one will be happy.

Duce, Now you have opened a whole new can of worms!! My good lady tolerated my annual hunts without saying too much, as that is how it was when we met. It was even romantic for her, her big white hunter going off on these dangerous missions! Then gradually she became more vocal about feeling left out and about me alone enjoying myself. So for the last four years my hunts cost me double, whatever I spend on hunting, she spends on a week holiday at a place of her choice!! At least this way I no longer feel guilty and enjoy my hunts without souring a relationship. |
