Hunting - Expensive sport

Hunters who have been around the sport know that it can get pretty expensive. You truly have to love the sport to really get into it. I feel that if they could lower the prices of some the accessories or permits that they could really bring in a lot of new hunters. Bows these days are really expensive. Even if you are trying to by a youth model for your son or little brother. A good youth model bow can range from $200 to $400 dollars. If we could lower these prices it would make people more likely to try the sport. Has price ever effected your decision to try hunting or not?

Duck Hunt

Last weekend I went duck hunting with Micah Lawson, Isaac Rushing and Wes Richards. Our hunt was located at Tuttle Creek near Manhattan, Kansas. We were hunting off of a marsh with some flooded timber across the water from us. We got in on a Friday night and set our decoys out early, since it was a public area we wanted to reserve our spot. We camped out there that night so that we could wake up and move right into the hunt. We did this same hunt last year, just in a different location. I would recommend doing this hunt to anyone that loves duck hunting, it is a blast sleeping out by the marsh and getting to hangout with your friends. That Saturday we killed twenty three ducks. We only had a few big ducks, but that is just because it has not gotten cold enough for all the Mallards and Geese to move south for the winter. I am looking to take my friends dad out duck hunting on some public land in about two to three weeks, let me know if you have any good spots that we could go.
Thanks

Favortie Hunts

This weeks blog I would like to give a chance to some of the people that are following our blog, to tell about there favorite hunt. It can be anything from small game like squirrels or something big like taking an elk in Montana. Either way, if you enjoyed your experience in the outdoors we would like to hear about it. With this blog we would like to reinforce the fact that hunting is about the experience and just being in the outdoors, its not always what you kill or how big the kill was. So share any hunting story you like this week. Thanks! And looking forward to hearing these excitng hunts!
