the reason it costs so much to hunt is because its labeled as a sport and considered a luxury instead of a necessity , i hunt and shoot as many as im legally able to if im lucky enough, to put meat in the freezer to feed me and my family as long as the meat holds out , alot of hunters hunt for the sport of collecting a trophy and they eat very little or dont even eat the meat ,they either give it all away or let it freezer burn. when society and the government label rights and necessities as a sport or privilege then just a monetary value is placed on it and the highest bidder wins.
If you are hunting for subsistence you are doing something wrong. No one who can afford to hunt should have to rely upon it to feed his/her family. Spot on!

My best days are on a 300 acre lease, got to hunt a bit more and no trophies but very reasonable prices. Some of these bigger operations they just funnel people thru and dealing with a lot of other hunters isn't worth it.
