Thread: $ value of harvested venison?

If you add up how much you’ve spent on hunting gear and compare that with how much meat you get from hunting you should be running at around $2,000 per deer.
If it adds up to anything less than that you really should by some new gear, European binoculars certainly help to the the ratio up!!

I don't follow the logic here craigc. I know a lot of guys who'll go bush for an hour or two with a low tech .303 (or sks or bar in previous years) and maybe 5 rounds and come out with a deer. Equipment cost is close to zero for these guys.

I don't buy venison, and looking at online prices I can't see myself starting anytime soon. Thanks for all the answers.
