I've never kept track or wanted to, but I'm sure it averages $8,000-$10,000. Some years quite a bit more, some years a bit less. Most of that is trips to places to hunt and fish. Very little is spent on gear, as I have pretty much everything I need for every place and species I hunt. I hunt Canada at least once every year and sometimes twice. Alaska hunt 3-4 out of every 5 years. Always do 7-10 days hunting ducks in ND, and then chase waterfowl throughout the central flyway. A Caribbean deep sea trip here and there. Chasing walleyes as time allows. Then there is a random year additional hunt if I drew a hail Mary tag someplace or I get a random invite. It all adds up, but hunting/fishing is a priority to me, and I feel its money well spent on living right.
