Couldn’t have say it any better
This is $300. It’s a lot of money — but it also doesn’t buy much anymore.
It will buy:
• 50 gallons of diesel
• 9 bags of dog food
• 1 cart of Walmart groceries
• 60 gallons of gasoline
• 1 vet visit or doctor visit to get doxycycline for a tick bite
• ½ ton of corn
You know what else $300 will get you as a hunter? A professional tracker or drone pilot to find your wounded deer — or any other wounded animal you can’t recover on your own.
Start thinking ahead now. If you tuck a $100 bill in the back of your wallet in June, July, and August, you’ll have a “recovery fund” ready when the season hits. If you don’t end up needing it, that’s a down payment for the taxidermist — or $300 extra in your pocket for Christmas.
