Growing up in Texas, a group would lease a ranch for whitetail/turkey/hogs. We then divided the cost and got a group to pay for it. When I was 18 a group of 10-12 people could get a nice place for about $50-75 each for the season. By the time I was about 30, this had gone to $500 each and took 20-25 people....this was when I decided to migrate to Colorado. $500 more than pays for both deer and elk...this counts tags and camp expenses...public land is kinda crowded and hunting is harder. Just a way of life here....before ole GI budy came up with his place. Costs are driving a bunch of young hunters out of the sport!! (old hunters too)
