Some talk about the price of a turkey licence, cost $30+ each. If/when the price increases ++, I'm already pretty close to calling it a day. Would you pay $100 for a turkey licence? Will it get to a point where the cost are too high and licence sales drop?
I see the license cost as paying for hunting experience. Pretty cheap in my books.Quote:

Shooting a Bird on the roost with my crossbow would be pretty tricky & also shooting an arrow in the air is not an ideal practice to get in to...lol
I am not bothering this year, I bought one last year for 2 hunts, my spring is too busy and if I want to bring my wife out to try to get her on to her first bird then we are looking at $60 for a couple mornings to try. Deer hunting has become more possible recently with some family land being purchased, saving my holidays for the cool winds of fall and sleeping in during the spring when our baby lets me.Quote:

Right! I have hunted as many as 30 days of the season. Pretty cheap entertainment as far as I’m concerned ! We won’t mention the cost per pound of wild turkey meat !!Quote:

It’s all about the fun and experience. What’s a round of golf going for these days?
I don't want to eat a $12 turkey.
Different strokes for different folks, sometimes catch and release fishing is a lot more fun than hunting, depending on the circumstances.Quote:
