Some good info from the others... Public hunting is the cheapest way ta go
if ya dont have family or friends with place ta hunt...
weather it be using archery, or guns it can get spendy with that alone, getting familiar with weapon of choice...
My first deer rifle was a Kentucky .45... Its Old school same with archery first shot gotta make it count... Lot of old time hunters single shot...
with black powder you learn the value ofmaintanaince,...
Then theirs the cost of driving distance ta place open
solo canoe for hunting & the expences that go with that...
Spend time on this forum reading the Topic's in the various forums...
as pappy say's :
Can be tough seperating the 
from the rest of the crap... Thar B some very good info... While most have me on thar Top of the
ignorance list, each has thar own opinion, & tis a hunting forum...
A rifle - bow tis only as good as the jerk behind the trigger.. just my
pappy
Best wish's
Keep your head held high & your powder dry...
