I replied in February, but we are doing better this year. Had my best season ever last year, and we had beef exactly once at home this year. I didn't even run out of backstrap!
Already got one in South Carolina, and about to start a group of Texas trips.
Progress report for me too - We didn't previously eat a ton of venison but put 4 in the freezer last year and now have less than a half of one left. Pretty pleased with that.

I dont think folks necessarily mean "fill the freezer". They mean to put enough in the freezer to get through the year. If it were everybody's goal to fill the freezer, that would be easy. Just buy a smaller freezer.. I dont know how many it would take for my family of 4 to eat venison for most every meal. 4 deer usually let's me eat venison 2-3 times a week for the whole year. Put up 3 last year and had to raid my brother's freezer a month ago. With ground beef $5-6 a pound, really helps with the grocery bill too.
May the sound of hounds never die!

Venison is the most expensive meat in our freezer. The fillets and rib-eyes from baby show calves don’t cost nearly as much I understand what people mean by this, but last year I killed 3 on land that I hunted for free, with a bow that I've owned for 4-5 years now, without having to buy new arrows, and processed it all myself. There really wasn't any cost other than my license. Again, I understand why people say it, but it doesn't HAVE to be expensive.

If your time is valuable to anyone (you, your family, your employer, your kids, your spouse) it has to be expensive. If you buy any supplies, bow, tree stand, bullets, arrows, flashlight, binoculars, camera, fuel Hunting is expensive

I guess my point was, if I hunted for 10 years with the same bow and same stand and only had to replace arrows every so often, the gear thing isn't too much. Don't have binoculars, don't use cameras anymore. I'm not saying it doesn't cost anything, but it also doesn't have to be extremely expensive.
