Racksrus- This is a very loaded question and 1 that probably has no answer but what is a good return on investment. That is different for everyone I would assume. I passed on 3 deer for various reasons. Hunting for food is not a profitable option on feeding a family unless you live on the property you hunt, do nothing to supplement the game and process everything yourself. It's simply cheaper dollars ad cents wise to goto the grocery store.

Now if you factor into time that you spend getting outdoors and use that for determination of money spent. Taking your family if that's their thing. Just pure enjoyment, it's hard to put a price on that. My #1 passion is tractor time. I love playing on my dozier, skidsteer, mini -x and tractors. That's where I find my peace these days. I cannot put a dollar value on that.

So as long as I get to use my toys and see my friends and family at this point in my life every deer season is a success.
