Recession coming
The LIBERAL press can't WHINE about Iraq anylonger since the surge has worked better than expected.
The economy is about the only thing they can try and tie to the Bush adminstration. The more they run it and this country down the better they feel about their jobs. I truely wish if they dislike this president and country so much they would pack their butts up and leave.
They will never say anything positive about Bush! Its all DOOM AND GLOOM!
On the bright side how about the BEATING the rotten to the core CARPETBAGGER, GUNGRABBING WITCH (I could do more but me thinks the PC board might break from pounding the keyboard) from NY took in SC! South Carolina ROCKS! Of course it could be a Bush conspiracy!
Now I feel better!

Recession coming
Frank now to answer your question. Skigoats cost $8000-$12000 for the Bigones add another $500-$1000 for Suits, Helmets, Boots, etc. Add 15-20 gals gas per outing. Usually ride to Tavern/Food Entertainment another $50-$100. I've left out the trailer and large SUV/Pickup to haul them plus the gas to travel. It adds up.
Of course you could look at greens fees for summer. Fishing trips, hunting and trips, Alpine skiing.
Just an example of hunting predators (Coyotes) I have invested $4000+ in rifles and scopes (last 2 years my other rifles just arn't for predators...), plus reloading equipment, range/trigger time, just spent $1000 plus on reloading components for about 6-8 months of shooting. My brother uses dogs, has 6 of them, $600-$1200 apiece, radio collars $200 each, Garmin GPS for dogs, 2 sets $600 each, kennels, travel kennels... We all use 2 way radios $150 each. I burn 10-20 gals gas 2 days Sat & Sun half a day each trying to stay in fron of Dogs. I have calling equipment and camo over $1500 invested. The season is only 4 months. Summer I do shoot long range woodchucks.
I have yet to get a Coyote in 3 years, I'm not as dedicated as the others they seem to get out every day. So far this group this season has got 7 Coyotes and 2 Red fox.
NOTE: Most have great summer construction jobs work 60-80 hours and look forward to their layoffs so they can hunt, work on HDL's (honey do lists) and travel. Me I work all year now.
Bottom line: Get to spend good time with my brother, nephews, sons and friends doing something that is challenging, takes a lot of skill and some luck.
Predator hunting is one of the fastest growing and most challenging sports there is. Take a look at industry estimates on the money spent.
Sorry if I went off the path and wandered around in the bushes...
