$$ How Much do You?

[Kylongspur88]

Idk. I've accumulated stuff over the years. In the past few years all I buy is a license and some mouth calls.

I spend more on licences, tags, hunting club dues,gas and ammo than anything else.

Same here for the past few seasons, I was just surprised at how much I've invested since I began turkey hunting and the amount of $ in gear I'm carrying most every time I go in the turkey woods.  It can vary with gear carried, but I'd never stopped to figure that up.
I wouldn't change it for anything either.

I'm going to say it's a lot but less than my bowhunting equipment.  Both are less than bass fishing or waterfowl hunting.  As long as I've been doing this I don't make major purchases that often.  I'm spend it mostly on trips, and a little tss.

Gun/choke...$500
Tss...$100
Binoculars...$250
Camo...$200
Calls...$250
Vest...$125

Probably less than the average American spends on eating out, drinks, and movies and such. Not that I don't do any of that but we all find a pit to throw money into

I've never attempted to add it up, probably never will. I never buy much turkey gear, just a few mouth calls and some shells. My biggest cost are tags and gasoline. Don't worry much about food, like a rutting buck, I'll eat when it's over.......

I have been a bird and waterfowl hunter since I was old enough to hold a gun...  So if I consider equipment specific to turkey hunting...

Vest
Shells
Decoys.
Calls.

Out of the above list, I have probably spent more on calls...  I have probably spent more on gas going hunting and scouting that all of the above combined.

I've been doing it for 26 yrs.....I absolutely love turkey hunting!  It's an addiction!!  I've spent many $ on it and never think about how much.  As long as it doesn't affect what God has asked of me and doesn't harm my family....it's a great investment and I don't keep track of it.

Its a number I don't care to add up I like living in dark when it comes to turkey hunting costs

todays hunters spend most of their money on useless junk. what I carry turkey hunting, with the exception of my gun, will fit in the pocket of a flannel shirt. license and food saver bags are my biggest expense.

Now that's a minimalist.  I have to carry water and a thermacell or my hunts would end very soon.  And I'm not sitting on the bare ground with no cushion or seat.  I like to actually enjoy my hunting time.

[appalachianassassin]

yes... im an extreme minimalist. I use to carry all the garb, now I don't even carry a veil and gloves. I carry a trumpet around my neck and a couple mouth calls in my pocket. water is not necessary, there are springs everywhere I hunt. If a bird is a mile away gobbling, I want to travel light enough to be set up on him in 10 mins or less. ive been clocked at 4 min 28 sec running a mile. carrying all that junk really slows you down. and uh... no one enjoyes their hunts any more than I do.

[Dr Juice]

Hahah I'd rather not even think about it. Pretty large number. But so worth it

X2. My call addiction is getting worse though :-)

[Happy]

That sir is moving! At my best I was 5:06 on the mile. I like to carry some stuff on my hunts and I wouldn't trust the streams around where I hunt for water. Still, I like to travel light by today's standards and that let's me get back in and away from other hunters. Put a good sized mountain between yourself and the road and odds are that you won't be bothered.
