Without having to convey how much money anyone makes or what their lease cost is! Just the lease price and not included all the extras like corn\gas\ect.

I saw a lease posted yesterday for $12,000 a gun...so for example if someone is making $120,000 a year this is 10% percent of their income for a lease.

Personally I am trying to stick to under 5%, I can't justify more than that.

household or single income?

I spend about $2000 year supporting personal hunting and about $10,000 a year supporting client hunts. Not sure as a percentage of income, but sure helps company revenue......

Total of lease in Kansas and Texas combined..under 3%

places to hunt total around 25%

Rifleman, you must be buying not leasing?

I thought I remembered you saying you only hunted like twice this past season. I wouldn't think 25% wouldn't be worth it for two hunts?

thanks.....and i guess household income, some lucky fella's might have some sugar momma's! lol

Buying and leasing. I've yet to hunt deer on anything I have leased, have it to keep folks off it.


And my wife, though expensive in her own right, could be classified as a sugar mama.

Own, buy, and lease.

Ok leases pay for them selves via ag.

TX lease- 1.6 percent

'Bout 12% for just the lease.

You don't want to know what I spend on fishing.

1.25% for the lease only. Wife even makes me pay it out of my "special" account. Thats just not rite. Lol.

5% in the past.

i think the one im getting on this season would turn out to be just under 3%

Yall are makin me feel good about what I spend. I am way under half a percentage point; of course I have only seen 2 doe in the past 2 years...

No funds from combined incomes but work security as second job to fund hunting obsession. Of that income I spend about 75% rest is used for hunt related gear and goes into savings for a bucket list hunts.

might want to spend a little more to see some more action

Thanks for all the responses!

Either some of you guys are making a butt load a money or finding all the cheap deer leases!

Interesting topic

What percentage did you think most would fall into?
Wonder what the difference between married and single folks would be?

0%

.25%

<1% It's the feed, seed, and fuel bill that ramps up that percentage. Securing the land was the cheap part. I would go broke chasing/growing antlers if it weren't for my CFO/wife.

I imagined the average was going to be around 5% but that was a guesstimate! Is there such a thing as DHA (deer hunting anonymnous) Lol

I was actually told by a landowner tonight that he required bio's of all the active hunters in our group and then we would be put in line to look at one of his lease's. I don't want to marry the landowner's daughter, I just want to hunt! lol

don't forget us DINKS

I dont spend much on hunting, but I have spent a big chunk on the land I hunt on.

Bout the same, wife has her own stuff too.

Not sure on percentage but with receipts and lease price included I spent a little over $4700 which included a new blind and feeders fed from june till end of season I make 65k a year so I don't worry I'm single lol
