Okay, I was having a "conversation" with my wife about how much money I spend on hunting, leases in particular, and I started wondering how many clubs or leases the average hunter is in and how much you spend on them. Personally, I am in two clubs. One in Hancock Co. is $250 and one in DeKalb Co. is $450. I also hunt on a piece of property in Bartow Co., but my aunt owns it so it is free. Is 2 clubs for a total of $700 an unreasonable amount? I bet a lot of you guys spend more than that.

You're probably under the average.

My club in Jefferson County is around $1000, and I don't even want to mention the note on my 800 acre farm.

That seems pretty reasonable to me for two leases

Tell her that she is getting out cheap

You are under the average so tell the wifie to chill out. Last year, I paid 350.00 for one, 350 for another and 250.00 for another that is out of state.
Many leases in my area run 1000 or better for the one club, so youa re doing great

$1500 for the lease. Add in the cost of transportation from central FL to SW Georgia and the NR license and it's awefully expensive.

I would love to run across a lease for that reasonable close to home. Any openings in the DeKalb Co. lease? Me personally, this year I paid $19.00 so far and have many places to hunt all over the state, I'm sure many of you are in the same club I'm in.

Last year I paid $2250 in Worth county.

This year I paid $875 in Randolph county. I plan to have a lot more fun this year and not be so dang up tight about all the money I spent and HAVING to kill a big deer.

My wife don't care a lick 'cause this is the only hobby I have!

$650 for one clubs dues and $900 for another ..... And that dont count all the other expenses.
I easily spend $5000 per year on hunting - with NO regrets or anyone to fuss at or with me about it except myself!!

Ask the Mrs this: "how much do you spend on makeup, hairdos, manicure, pedicures, tanning booth, SHOES and CLOTHES??????"

I have one small piece of family owned land that costs me nothing to hunt. I also pay $10 for a Corps. of Engineer permit. With that I can hunt 8000 prime acres of land. I saw more deer last year than I ever have.

I hunt some farms in Hart Co for free and I'm in a lease in Jefferson Co for $250. Of course I tell my wife it's free too.
