Boom

Last year two new boats at around 90K total, probably 15 or so new reels and rods at around 3k. In the summer time I make around 15 trips a month all the way to November then I have been duck hunting this year at $600 a pop with tip and probably around 15 trips. Three new shotguns for duck hunting plus 350 decoys for what I plan to lease next year total of around 6K.

Last year I bought a new camp and an F250, I don't even want to think about the cost of both.

This year I have ordered a mud boat and I plan to lease some property for duck hunting.

If you back out the camp, boats and truck and just focus on the bait, gas, (no ice, I have a machine at my camp), lease, shotgun shells, decoys, I bet it is 40K to 60K, way to much.... and still not enough....

Plus I bought the Salty Cajun for _______X.

I need another job to pay for all of this stuff.

I wish I would have never duck hunted... It is like a sickness and very expensive.

Welcome to the club Casey. Oh and there is no cure for your sickness ...lol

Ballin ! Nice

no matter what it cost, it is a better alternative than a therapist!! can't put a price on fun.

When you stop and think about all of this, you really see how much money you "waste" on all of this stuff. H e l l I will never retire at this rate.

No sh*t I cringe when I look back at the end of the year and total it all up

Gotta have the toys

Wanna finance my second location?! It's a few of them boats but, who's counting?!...Oh wait, you're an accountant!

Second location? That sounds great Corey good for you. I can help you move, whatever you need.

Would be great but, still outa reach right now. Messing with ya about where ya putting all the spare change. Will be in touch this week though. It's tax time...Again! Ughhhh!

sure beats the hell out of bookreading and golf!!!!!!!!!

hunting and fishing is the biggest money making pass time in the world...(more than porn)...lol

I feel the same way. If I didn't fish I could live in one of those fancy houses that Pox builds...

hahaha damn! *** was i thinking...

You spend a lot of money but you can't buy catching ...lmao

I was out of control with the bait buying , my storage room looked like a wall at academy, 10 bags of this bait, 10 bags of this one ect... I'm done with that madness, this past summer I decided all I'm gonna use is curly tail grubs, spooks, and some catch2000 or corkys . Since I made that decision I prolly saved an easy 2-3000$ . My main expense is freakin gas just to trailer the boat a minimum of 1 hr 45min each way pulling a 24' boat blasting the ac. And now since I bought the bigger boat we have been snapper fishing so of course on those long runs I can ease off the throttle I "must" run wide open lol and get a whole 2mile/ gallon!

Well said, I use to always run wide open, that Verado was killing me. This fall I kept the RPM's at 4000 to 4300 and my speed stayed at 40 to 44 which was plenty. I saw a really big increase in fuel economy but it took me some time to get use to it. I even let a couple of boats pass me in the ship channel, it killed me but I was able to handle it. ;)

You have an 1.45 minute drive but living in Baton Rouge you have a ton of options.

you ever look into getting your prop repitched?
