Do you spend a lot of money on bow hunting and trad gear anually, or not that much? Just curious...

Well if I didn't lose so many arrows making "I can do this-amazing shots!" I probably don't spend that much. Well...except Quebec for bear hunting and Texas for hogs and...I don't want to think about it!    :eek:    

I used the money I got from selling my wheelie bows to buy bows, bought a few dozen arrows and WW broadheads from money I make on the side doing gunsmithing. Have been selling off lots of stuff accumalated over the last 20 years. I usually buy about 1000#s of corn, my tags and scent  spray each year for both me and my wife. Sam.

Never added it up-no need to know!

You and me both, Bjorn!

you can't be serious!...................... are you?  

UH-OH My wife is on here again seeing if I will answer this one so she can find out the truth.. LOL  :eek:

 Bows are an investment, right?

Gas + food on the way + broadheads + toe warmers = about $400

I know every year I spend around $150.00 for lic and some stuff that I might need.

Probably more than I need to, but nowhere near what I would like to  

I pay my bills and spend the rest. Ain't that the way your supposed to do it.

I remember shooting at an elk and thinking. "That was a $1,200 arrow!" Fortunately for that kind of money I can really bear down and aim.

ouch.. it it hard this year. a few new sets of hunting clothes and an O.L. Adcock ACS one-piece and an A&H ACS 3-piece.

I really don't want to know too scary

Never think about money. Long as the bills are paid and family taken care of the rest is gravy.

On gear this year, less than $50...didn't need anything...in fact, been selling stuff off that I had for a while.  Probably close to that figure over the past 5 years too.  There's no longer a fine line between "want" and "need" with me....I either need it or I don't.  I've been shooting bows for close to 30 years now...and the stuff sold 20 years ago works as well now as the new stuff does.  One shot...one kill...no different than it was 100 years ago.  With these $30+ broadheads, "super straight" carbon arrows, etc... not sure how the old-timers did it...  

On gas and licenses though, well, now you got me there...

Gas,gear,license,arrows,tags :just about $2,500
In France there are plenty of bowhunters who spend more that I.

wow-thats a big bag of worms..........

yes,it's a heck of a lot    :(
