An average deer is 50+ lbs of boneless venison meat.
c = $2000/(50lbs * n); where n is the number of deer, c is average cost per pound.
OR
$2000 = n(c * 50lbs ); where n is the number of deer, and c is cost per pound for comparison says you'll need to take 8 deer to break even on your rifle and gear, assuming meat costs of $5/lb for good roast chuck.
plus
Venison > Beef

[Anonymous No.13985330]

>>13985300
>8 deer
Even ignoring the cost of the gun, that sounds like at least 8 days of work, probably more. Not that I get paid hourly but if we pretend for a minute that I do, that's like $570 per deer in "labor" cost, or about $11 a pound. So... $16 a pound total? I guess that's not bad if you like the taste of prions.

Now, I get it, you think it's fun to get lyme disease ticks and dodge bullets from other hunters, but there are other things I'd rather do in my time off (like shitpost on an anonymous north korean tattoo forum, obviously)

I'm no cutlery god, so it takes about a minute per pound for me to process.
Assuming average deer of 120 lbs, that's 2 hours including field dressing and really tryin to wring it out.
I'll only get 1/3 as venison roast, but I'll have plenty of good bits to grind into burgers.
As for the hunt itself, that's rarely over an hour for me. I'm a lucky duck.
Most I've done is 4 deer in a day, I was actually with a buddy. We got 7 total.
Got back and started drinkin beers about 3, and by 7 all the meat was vacuum packed.

What are you even talking about? like joining a gun club? Most people just pay the 10 bucks for a day pass to a range or know someone with property, I will give you 150 a year for ammo and upkeep

>wow I saved -$5000 on meat!
I'm at $550 for the initial cost and we can say 200 a year after for hunting permits ammo and upkeep. You can also sell meat you don't want to local processing plants. one near me offers free processing if they can keep half or you can give them a whole deer and they will pay you so much per pound.

That's a problem mostly with eating meat from carnivores. You can eat all kinds of venison offal just the same, but like most offal you have a fair chance of cooking it into either a rubbery piece of trash, or a biohazard, if you don't pay attention to what you're doing.
