Beginning tomorrow, kids and Veterans get to hunt for a full week. Then, next Saturday, October 19, it’s Primitive Weapons season, and on October 26, everybody’s invited to the party! This is what I call my “annual divorce.” It’s because I spend as much time in the woods as possible. But, I’m not doing it for all the “time with the guys.” Heck, no! It’s my duty as the “hunter/gatherer” for my family! If you’ve priced groceries lately, you know that you’ve got to save, wherever you can. And deer hunters all over know that adding some “free” venison to the freezer helps out a ton. Right? Well, hit the brakes a little. My wife has done a some work on the calculator and that assumption might be a little far fetched. It all started within minutes of my wife’s return from an all-day shopping trip after picking up the items she needed to fix up some flower beds around our place.&nbsp; And this is where I opened my pie hole and proved just how truly stupid I am.&nbsp; I began to complain about the cost. That’s when she lit into me like a starving dog on a sausage biscuit.&nbsp; “Well, what about your deer hunting?” she said.&nbsp; My reply was one I thought to be logical.&nbsp; “My deer hunting helps out on the grocery bill”. She then explained to me how illogical my thinking really was.&nbsp; “Oh, it helps on the grocery bill?&nbsp; Well, let’s do the math on that.” <ul><li> Your hunting licenses&nbsp; – $200 </li><li> Your deer lease fees – $1000 </li><li> Automatic Deer Feeders – $600 </li><li> Corn for the feeders – $200 </li><li> The seeds and fertilizer for your food plots – $300 </li><li> Your 4 deer rifles – $3,000 </li><li> Ammunition – $200 </li><li> The new 4 wheeler – $7,000 </li><li> New deer stands – $1,000 </li><li> Deer processing for 6 deer – $500 </li><li> Camouflage clothing and boots – $1,500 </li><li> Gas for back and forth to the camp for the season – $500 </li><li> Groceries while you’re at the camp – $500 </li></ul> “So, if we get 250 pounds of venison from those 6 deer then we’re averaging nearly $66 a pound! Ribeye steaks are only $14 a pound there big boy.” It was then that I truly proved my ignorance and I said, “$66 a pound huh?&nbsp; Sounds like it’s about the same price as those high heels you bought last week.” The doctor says the scar over my left eye is permanent, but the vision should return in a week or two. <a href="//mykisscountry937.com/the-truth-about-what-deer-hunting-in-louisiana-really-costs/" rel="nofollow"> Click here to view photo gallery </a></div></body>
