I was shopping at Meijer's and noticed they had deer meat for sale in 14 oz. packages for $13.00 which comes out to about
94 cents and ounce.

Funny, the sign says elk, but good chance it's red deer from New Zealand.

MAN THAT STORE PRICE IS CHEAP. LOL Yep. I've always said that few hobbies can be financially justified. I don't, by any way, decide for or against a hobby using that as a criteria, just saying what I think to be reality. When I was really into home brewing my buddy and I had a stretch of bad beer. We poured out no less than 100 gallons one summer. We finally committed a Saturday to thoroughly sanitizing every single piece of equipment we had. We boiled everything that would withstand the temperature and soaked everything else in food grade acidic sanitizer. We changed ingredient supplier and yeast brand. I'm not sure what it was, but it worked. No problems after that. Quick and conservative math says that was no less than $600 in ingredients and 50 hours of labor. I could buy a lot of beer from the store for that and not be mad. |

This company is out of Texas. I just looked at their website - the venison is New Zealand sourced. But, they do sell elk as well as red deer. |

I could buy a lot of beer from the store for that and not be mad. I fully understand that. I race sprint cars. My first house cost less that the aluminum motor that I have now. I have a fit over a 100 dollar tire on my work vehicle. But burn up two rear tires a night most nights on a sprint car that are 265 a piece. But some things are priceless. |

I figured that was the case Just like the Arby’s venison sandwich they had a while back. It was from New Zealand. I didn’t think you could sell venison in the us if it’s native to that state. |

I had a heart attack when I saw the price of the drylock bibs and jacket, but since I got so wet earlier that day deer hunting at The Dunes State Park even the paper in my wallet was wet. IIRC it was $200 or $300 for the set and that was in 1998. I am still using them during gun deer season now. |

I fished with a guy that can tell you to the penny how much Bluegill cost.
Most hobbies are just that. They should be treated as entertainment like going to the movies or sports event.
I can't come close to paying for my presses, dies, and all the rest of the hardware in my reloading habit then add in component cost. But if you consider the time and enjoyment you get it is well worth it.
In years of tag soup a few steaks and some buger would be worth the cost.

My Camo hat that has fold down ear flaps is the first Goretex thing that I purchased, and I purchased it while I was in college. Still wear it in the winter. Why is it I can wear a hat that I purchased in College but NONE of my other clothes from that time fit? |
