$500 beer, onions, rice, charcoal and other camp cooking necessities.

I don't count fuel as a hunting expense. If I wasn't hunting, I'd be spending that money on something anyway.

And $400 or so on a damn deer I just dropped off at the taxidermist.

Not going to put a dollar amount, but 2013 was a hell of a year for hunting/outdoors:

- South Africa Safari/Great White Cage Dive
- Argentina Dove Hunt
- 3 South Texas Quail Weekends
- 3+ South Texas Dove Hunts
- A couple average N. Texas Duck Hunts
- Green River Wy Fly Fishing/River Camping Weekend

Not hunting related but also lived in remote Utah for 5 weeks for graduate school research. Spent alot of time at National Parks.

In summary, lots of time spent around the camp firepit with good people and my dad. Great year for the outdoors.

$70 rice land call
$26 2 boxes of Federal Blue Box 3" #2
$15 jerkcord

Bout it. Had some leftover shells. Waiting til after season to buy more decoys

And I guess my license and a box of shells for teal season too

-$20k Ranger Banshee
-$500 in rods n reels
-$500 in boat accessories
-$600 Stoeger M3000
-$200 in shells
-$1000+ on my dog (if you count that, training her but she hasn't been on a hunt)
-$80 in licenses

Killed 3 ducks, 4 doves, 0 deer, and let almost all redfish I catch go . And I used to think I was a tight-wad until this thread made me think about it. I really need to make more outdoor trios if i'm going to dump this much money into it.
